Accent
on: July 19, 2008, 01:59:24 PM
My piano teacher and I were wondering, is there a fancy sounding Italian name for an accent? Or is it just called an accent?

There are many types of accents. Accent(>) Tenuto(_) Marcato (^)  they all can also be coupled with a staccato. All they do is make the note stand out from the rest.
