< A Dictionary of Music and Musicians
FZ. The abbreviation of the Italian word forzando, meaning that the note or chord against which it is played should be forced beyond the normal sound of the passage. It is always proportionate; and thus a fz in a piano passage will be far less loud than in a forte passage. sfz or sf (sforzando) is more commonly used than fz.
