Which term is defined as 'Hold the note for its full value' according to the material?
Correct Answer:
Sforzando
Explanation:
Tenuto is the marking that tells you to hold the note for its full written value. It’s usually shown as a short dash above or below the note and guides you to sustain the note for the exact duration intended, sometimes with a touch of weight but not extra length beyond the written rhythm. The other marks are about articulation and emphasis: Sforzando and Forzando indicate sudden strong accents, while rinforzando means a reinforced accent. So the idea of holding the note for its full value aligns with Tenuto.
