How is "strongly accented" expressed in musical terminology?

The term "strongly accented" is most accurately expressed as "marcato." Marcato indicates a note or passage that is played with emphasis or stress, making it stand out from surrounding notes. This term is often represented by a vertical wedge or an accent mark above the note. It instructs the performer to deliver a more pronounced and forceful articulation.

While "martellato" is also related to emphasizing notes, it describes a somewhat different technique, involving a strong, hammer-like attack followed by a quick release. It does indicate an accent but in a more specific context of articulation rather than general emphasis.

"Mezzo forte" translates to a moderately loud dynamic level, which does not convey the concept of accentuation. "Meno mosso," meaning "less motion" or slower, pertains to tempo adjustments and is unrelated to the expression of accentuation. Thus, marcato is the precise term that represents a strongly accented note in musical terminology.
