Yes, the musical term 'diminuendo' is a type of dynamics. The word 'dynamics' refers to existing sound in terms of its levels of loudness or softness. The word 'diminuendo' is Italian for 'getting softer and softer'. So it measures sound in terms of softness. It therefore is a type of dynamics.
Diminuendo (Dim.) or Decrecsendo (Dec.) Diminuendo is more widely used, but they both mean the same thing
It is called Diminuendo. It's actually called Rallentando ... diminuendo is a dynamic control indicating to start playing softer (quieter).
Not always. Sometimes the dynamic of the music escalates and then stays at that new dynamic for the remainder of the song. Most of the time, however, there is a diminuendo following the creschendo.
