Step one：谓语动词

was

Step two:连接词

无

1）主句为Beethoven’s habit was only rarely used，只有一个谓语动词，为简单句

2）该句的修饰语可以用括号括出，Beethoven’s habit (of increasing the volume) (with an intense crescendo) and (then abruptly following it) (with a sudden soft passage) was only rarely used (by composers) (before him).

3）And并列连接两个动名词increasing和following，做介词of的宾语

4）所有的介词短语均可以前置翻译

【难点词汇】

volume：音量

crescendo：声音渐增

abruptly：突然地

【参考译文】
