Niente (Italian pronunciation: [ˈnjɛnte]), also called quasi niente [ˈkwaːzi ˈnjɛnte], is a musical dynamic often used at the end of a piece to direct the performer to fade the music away to little more than a bare whisper, normally gradually with a diminuendo,[1] al niente.[2] It is often written as "
n" or "ø".
The difference, "from a musical rest," may be explain, "in that [during niente] the musician is engaged in making sound but so softly that the sound can not be heard."[3]
