A beat in a measure which automatically has emphasis because of rhythmic incidence.

In a waltz, the strong beat is one. In a rock song, the strong beats can be either one and three or two and four, typically.

In classical music and relating to counterpoint especially, it is a beat in a measure which has harmonic and melodic signifigance.
