Pianissimo is an Italian equivalent of 'very softly, very slowly'. It's formed by combining the adverb 'piano' with the suffix '-issimo'. It's pronounced 'pee-ah-NEES-see-moh'.

Pian piano is another equivalent. It's formed by the repetition of the adverb. But in the first case, the ending letter 'o' is dropped. It's pronounced 'pyan pee-AH-noh'.

Molto piano is still another equivalent. It's formed by having the adverb 'molto', which means 'very', modify the adverb 'piano'. The phrase is pronounced 'MOHL-toh pee-AH-noh'.
