See also:APPOGGIATURA (from Ital. appoggiare, to lean upon) , a musical See also:term for a melodic See also:ornament, a See also:grace-See also:note prefixed to a See also:principal note and printed in small See also:character . The effect is to suspend the principal note, by taking away the See also:time-value of the See also:appoggiatura prefixed to it . There are two kinds, the See also:long appoggiatura, now usually printed as played, and the See also:short, where the suspension of the principal note is scarcely perceptible; this is often called acciatura, a word properly applied to an ornament now obsolete, in which a principal note in a See also:melody is struck together with the note immediately below, the See also:lower note being at once released and the other held on . |
