What is a triple appoggiatura?
"Double appoggiatura" and "triple appoggiatura" are names for pairs or triplets of grace notes that are played quickly at the time of the primary tone that they precede. ... If written out as they would sound, they will appear as two or three very fast notes followed by the longer note and slurred to it.
Can an appoggiatura have two notes?
The double appoggiatura consists of two notes in small type, the time of which is taken from the principal note, before which they are written; the distance of the first of the two notes from the principal note is not restricted, but the second note is normally one degree above, or below it.
What is a double appoggiatura?
1 : two disjunct appoggiaturas above and below the principal note. 2 : two appoggiaturas occurring simultaneously in different voices or parts.
What is the effect of an appoggiatura?
Appoggiaturas are so powerful in terms of emotional content because they create an influence on harmony as well as melody; from the operatic vocal tradition of sospiro (“sigh”), the descending resolved dissonance shows pain, longing, and beauty—truly a musical cry of despair.
