pianissimo 指“极弱”的音乐记号或乐段，并非乐器；表示“钢琴”必须用 piano。两词形近，学习者易因共享 pian- 词根而误用。
piano 是“弱”的力度记号，比 pianissimo 高一级；pianissimo 表示“极弱”。谱上 p 为 piano，pp 才是 pianissimo，二者程度不同，不能互换。
fortissimo 意为“极强”，与 pianissimo 的“极弱”方向正好相反；两者词尾相同，但一个是最大音量，一个是最小音量，读谱时不能混淆。
mezzo piano 是“中弱”，只比 piano 更轻，仍明显强于 pianissimo；要表达“极弱”只能用 pianissimo，不能用 mezzo piano。
