SN:
Emphasis on pitches or chords. An accent is dynamic if the pitch or chord is louder than its surroundings, tonic if it is high in pitch, and agogic if it is of longer duration. In measured music, the first beat of each measure is the strong beat and thus carries a metrical accent. (New Harvard Dictionary of Music)
