Tonic accent.

Emphasis given to a note on account of its higher pitch, rather than because of stress (i.e. dynamic Accent) or lengthening of durational value (i.e. Agogic accent). In ex.1 the third beats of bars 1 and 2 receive a tonic accent, in addition to a dynamic accent, because the melody notes that fall on them are higher than those of beats 1 and 2.
