...it's a dirty job but... the italian term "crescendo" is not a noun, is a gerund (meaning "raising", "growing"), so, when substantivated, in italian language, is indeclinable - thus if I "amo il crescendo rossiniano", I still "amo tutti i crescendo rossiniani" (if you find an italian who says "crescendi", you have the license to kill him). In an english context, the plural is simple: "crescendoes". If the english language respected italian (and french and spanish and german...) language as it does with latin, I did not have to bother you!!! But thanks for the try! bye Piero
