I'v even seen a piano sheet with a crescendo on a single half note chord,
at tempo allegretto.
Technically, that's of course complete nonsense. However, it may be that
the composer (unfortunately I dont' remember where I'v seen that strange
crescendo) wanted to explain the intention of the music. "I'd love to
have a crescendo here, but unfortunately that's impossible on a piano."
On the other hand, the engraver that did that sheet may have been a
little bit stoned :-)
BTW: the other direction (from f subito to p) *is* possible on piano
with sophisticated pedalling/damping. [I wish I had *that* skills]
Ciao,
