What does poco crescendo mean?

"Poco crescendo" is an Italian musical term that literally translates to "a little increasing in volume".

It indicates a gradual increase in volume, but not as pronounced as a "crescendo". Think of it as a subtle and gentle swell in the music.

Here's a breakdown:

* Poco: Means "a little" or "slightly".

* Crescendo: Means "increasing in volume".

So, "poco crescendo" means the music should gradually get louder, but not too dramatically.
