In Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty, the dynamic concept used in many performance excerpts is often **crescendo**. This is a gradual increase in loudness, which is a common technique in orchestral music to build intensity and emotion. However, other terms like **decrescendo** (a gradual decrease in loudness), **slur** (a way of connecting notes smoothly), and **ritardando** (a gradual slowing down of tempo) can also appear in various contexts within the ballet.

If you are looking for a specific answer regarding a performance excerpt, it would depend on the context of that excerpt. Without that context, **crescendo** is a reasonable choice but be sure to reference the specific excerpt to confirm the correct dynamic concept.
