-

Music in the 19th century was all about making a big splash; overwhelming audiences with intensely emotional music that included extremes of every kind, including contrasting dynamic levels. Dynamic contrast was one of the ways that composers made their music more emotional and dramatic. Composers took dynamic levels to the extreme, writing incredibly loud music marked fortissississimo, and incredibly soft music marked pianissississimo. They also used surprise tactics, including sudden bursts of sound like the sfortzando or subito piano.

In order to capture the emotion of the piece, composers used all of these tactics of dynamic changes to make it happen.

Hope this helps!
