Most composers express accents with graphic music notation, but some composers and arrangers prefer the Italian terms sforzando, sforzato, forzando, or forzato - in music notation, sfz, sf, or fz - all of which indicate sudden forceful emphasis.

Sforzando sfz is an indication to make a strong, sudden accent on. a note or chord. Sforzando literally. means subito forzando (fz ), which. translates to “suddenly with.

: in a manner so as to hold a tone or chord firmly to its full value. used as a direction in music.

In fact, many music dictionaries show both Sforzato and sforzando as having the same meaning. See more about dynamic marks in the Appendix.

The loud symbols look like a stylized 'f'', while the soft symbols look like a 'p'. These two symbols stand for 'forte' and 'piano', respectively. You can modify these symbols by putting a stylized 'm' in front of the f or p (mf or mp). These modified symbols stand for mezzo-forte and mezzo-piano.

Music symbols are the written language of sheet music - a collection of marks and instructions used to communicate how a piece of music should be played. These symbols represent different aspects of music, including pitch, rhythm, tempo, and dynamics, as well as articulation, phrasing, and more.

Sforzando (musical direction), in musical notation to play a note with sudden, strong emphasis (also known as sforzito)

Musical symbols are the marks and symbols, used since about the 13th century in the musical notation of musical scores, styles, and instruments, in order to describe pitch, rhythm, tempo – and, to some degree, its articulation (e.g., a composition in its fundamentals).

Tenuto: A tenuto mark is the opposite of staccato. It indicates that a player should take care to play the full value of a single note. For instance, if you see a half note with a tenuto mark above it, be sure to let it ring for the full half-note duration before moving on to the next note.

Staccato = separated, detached. Tenuto = held, sustained (for the full value of the note). Well, isn't this interesting! We CAN combine a "held" with a "separated"!
