Hi everyone
I recently bought the new grade 1 piano book ready to teach somebody from and found in one of the list B songs there was a dynamic marking rf. Does anyone know what this means? I havent come across this before. I thought at first it couldbe a misprint for sf, but i have seen it in the grade 5 and 6 books aswell. Any help would be most welcome

I think it means 'rinforzando' - "suddenly reinforce the volume of tone by an abrupt, heavy accent".

Can't say I've ever come across it before!

i had never come across it till my grade 6 piano piece!

Not as forceful as sf.

rinforzando = reinforce or strengthen the tone.

thanks everyone youve been a big help :-)
