The length of a sound means how many beats, or what fraction of a beat, it lasts. Pitch - is the height or depth of a sound. Accent - means stress or emphasis; some sounds are more strongly accented than others. Intensity - means the degree of loudness or softness. Tone - means the quality of a sound. The tone of the sound produced by a clarinet differs from that of a saxophone, and both differ from that produced by a guitar or trumpet. The above is shown on paper in the form of 'Musical Notation'
