Sforzando in a sentence as a noun

The sforzando in bars 5 and 6 creates an intensification in comparison to the first four bars which is all in piano; the harmony is the same as before but moves twice as fast and culminates in a rolled fortissimo chord that dies away to a half close. Without the articulation and dynamics, the meaning of the music is changed and its clarity is weakened considerably, which is why I think separating out the melodic aspect is a risky endeavour.
