The Mannheim school was responsible for a number of new techniques in the 1700s.The Mannheim crescendo was a technique whereby the entire orchestra would transition quite rapidly from pianissimo to fortissimo. This transition was not done gradually, as this question suggests.The Mannhein steamroller combined this sudden crescendo with tremolo effects and often a rise in the pitch.The Mannhein rocket referred to a rising arpeggio.There was even a Mannheim sigh, which gave the effect of a human sigh by using a slur over two descending notes.dynamic

dynamic
Simple answer: no. Although the first indication of a crescendo appears during the Renaissance, what was used in the Baroque period is, for the most part, terraced dynamics, or an abrupt change from one dynamic to another. This was mostly because of the harpsichord, which did not have the ability to gradually change dynamic. The use of crescendo didn't become popular until the mid to late 1700s, in part because of the "Mannheim Crescendo," used by the Mannheim school of composers. The Mannheim Crescendo was a novel concept, and applied the use of gradual dynamics to an entire orchestra.
