1. acciaccaturanoun

   A short grace note (theoretically taking no time at all), occurring on the beat occupied by the main note to which it is prefixed, one scale-step higher or lower than that main note. (Sometimes equivalent, therefore, to a short appoggiatura, but in Baroque music interpreted differently and more strictly.) Written as a note lighter in appearance, typically a quaver (eighth note), with an oblique stroke through the stem.

2. Etymology: from the verb acciaccare

1. acciaccatura

   In music, ornaments or embellishments are musical flourishes—typically, added notes—that are not essential to carry the overall line of the melody (or harmony), but serve instead to decorate or "ornament" that line (or harmony), provide added interest and variety, and give the performer the opportunity to add expressiveness to a song or piece. Many ornaments are performed as "fast notes" around a central, main note. There are many types of ornaments, ranging from the addition of a single, short grace note before a main note to the performance of a virtuosic and flamboyant trill. The amount of ornamentation in a piece of music can vary from quite extensive (it was often extensive in the Baroque period, from 1600 to 1750) to relatively little or even none. The word agrément is used specifically to indicate the French Baroque style of ornamentation.

1. acciaccatura

   An acciaccatura is a type of musical ornament, typically written as a note that is one step away from the principal note and is meant to be played as quickly as possible. It is often performed as a very rapid grace note immediately before the main note of a melody, adding emotional expressivity or dramatism. The acciaccatura is often notated with a small note slashed through with a line, and typically includes the intended note, plus the one immediately above or below it.
