That's odd
Well yes it is to me too seeing as that abuse was not made, to my knowledge at least, in my native language.
But then I thought, "well if there is a crescendo, unless it goes on forever, there will be a climax". So I kinda get where the abuse (or misunderstanding, or literary license, or whatever the intent is) comes from. I don't, personally, agree with it, so won't use it that way. But whatever I personally think is irrelevant, at least now I am aware someone might mean that. So I guess now, in English at least, it's been long enough and widespread enough it's no longer an abuse (colloquially speaking)
