In both of these occurrences the apex tone is marked sforzando. This is critical and may be interpreted to mean that the apex of each figure is a goal to be reached.
I want "this" to refer to the entire preceeding sentence. Or does "this" only refer to "apex tone"?
It is like the sound of one hand clapping.

As I read it, the word "this" is telling me that the fact that the apex tone is marked as sforzando is what is critical. You then explain what that means; that the apex tone is the goal to be reached.
To me, it reads fine and is easily understood if this is the meaning you want to convey.

Thank you very much for the answer. It helped me too! :)
