About this symbol
The p in music means piano, Italian for soft. Dynamics are written in Italian because Italian composers set the conventions of written music in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; pp is very soft, and the instrument itself is short for pianoforte, soft-loud, because it could play both.
