The instruction may involve the word marcato itself written above or below the staff or it may take the form of the symbol ∧,[1][2][3] an open vertical wedge. The marcato is essentially a louder and often shorter version of the regular accent > (an open horizontal wedge).
Like the regular accent, however, the marcato is often interpreted to suggest a sharp attack tapering to the original dynamic,[4] an interpretation which applies only to instruments capable of altering the dynamic level of a single sustained pitch. According to author James Mark Jordan, "the marcato sound is characterized by a rhythmic thrust followed by a decay of the sound."[5]
The instruction marcato or marcatissimo[6] (extreme marcato), among various other instructions, symbols, and expression marks may prompt a string player to use martelé bowing, depending on the musical context.[7] An example is the Gavotte from the Orchestral Suite No. 3, BWV 1068 by J. S. Bach (Suzuki Violin School Vol. 3).[8]
