The amount of time "stolen" from the principal note depends on the note's original duration and musical style:

: For dotted notes, the ornament typically takes two-thirds of the value.

: For standard notes like quarter or eighth notes, the appoggiatura generally takes half of the value.

An (from the Italian appoggiare , meaning "to lean") is a melodic ornament where a "grace note" is played on the beat, momentarily displacing the principal note. It typically creates a dissonance that then resolves by step (usually downward) to a consonant chord tone. 1. Identify Notation

Example : An appoggiatura on a quarter note results in two eighth notes.

: It is intended to take a significant portion of the principal note's rhythmic value. 2. Determine Rhythmic Value
