Meaning of "sfffz" in Music

In music notation, "sfffz" is a directive that indicates a note or chord should be performed with particular emphasis. It is a combination of two musical terms: "sff" and "fz."

- "Sff" is an abbreviation for "sforzatissimo," which means to play the note or chord with a strong accent or sudden emphasis.- "Fz" is an abbreviation for "forzando," which means to play the note or chord with force or emphasis.

When combined, "sfffz" instructs the performer to play the indicated note or chord with a very strong accent or emphasis. This notation is used to add intensity and emphasis to the music.
