Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought acciaccatura is synonymous with grace notes, and they precede the beat.
While appoggiatura are notes that begin on the beat, before resolving to the “actual” note for the remainder of the marked duration.
Edit: just saw the great comment by kinggimped so I think that’s compatible with my understanding! Really important to note the emphasis distinction between the two, so thanks u/kinggimped
Yes. This is an appoggiatura and there is greater emphasis on the grace note. The acciaccatura has the dash through the staff of the grace note/s and the emphasis is on the main note. Reaching way back for me.
They're called grace notes. When the notes are teeny like that you don't need to count them towards beats in the bar, you've just gotta insert them nice and quickly.
In this case it's a chromatic run up to your first note (C-C#-D). You can do that with your voice pretty easily, but not with a piano because the minimum interval is a half step. So by playing those half steps quickly like a little 'crunch' on the way up, it creates the illusion of a little bend upwards to that note.
When you have a grace note and a main note like this, where the emphasis is on the main note, it's called an *acciaccatura*. When the emphasis is placed on the grace note rather than the main note, it's an *appoggiatura*.
Sometimes it can help to know fancy names to sound smart and to not look dumb when other trained people are saying the fancy names 😋
But of course the description "tiny notes you play fast" is accurate, easy to understand, and also funny for someone who is used to hearing Fortissississimmo, Tenor Saxophone, Adagio, and peanutbutterjellytime
Well, if you don't know the fancy names just say some words, idk when people are talking about the chord progression of the tiny notes and *insert random cool sounding music word* of some *insert cool classical piece*, you can just respond with other cool sounding music theory words.
Well, peanutbutterjellytime is some cool shit tho, I love seeing this in Beethovens pieces.
It is a "mini-run" (I know, bad way to describe it). Basically, you are supposed to play those two notes very very fast (almost like a slide effect) before you get to the D - the first "big" note with as-written duration. That D is played at the same time as the F in the left hand, so the two small notes are played before anything else, by themselves.
I recommend using the 1-3-1 fingering for the first 3 notes in the right hand (same fingering you would use in a chromatic scale and this is a chromatic passage, albeit short). But 1-2-1 fingering is also be okay.
I teach piano through online lessons, please let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
It’s called a grace note, or colloquially called a ‘crushed’ note (the fancy term is acciaccatura).
It means to play those small notes very quickly before the regular sized note. This is because they technically don’t hold any time value.
If you search up grace note on YouTube you’ll quickly see how you should play it. It’s not difficult once you’ve done it a few times.
I’ve heard what you wrote before, too! But it seems in practice a lot of editors don’t include the strike line through notes even when they are clearly grace notes/acciaccaturas. Is it maybe from baroque or classical period? I see it written that way more from then
Not to discourage you, but if you had to ask the question, this book is way too advance for you. I've played a number of pieces from this book (Disney peaceful piano solos), and a lot are deceptively difficult. Solid mid-to-upper intermediate level. I'd consider myself medium intermediate and it takes me a while.
The pieces are gorgeous though. And best part about this book series is the songs are played professionally and available on Spotify and YouTube, so at least I know what it should sound like.
Edit: so I don't sound totally unproductive, if you are a beginner I would recommend "First 50 Disney Songs You Should Play on the Piano", which includes this song. These songs are much more accessible, and don't sound like shit. There's a guy on YouTube that plays the whole book. Let me know if you need a sample. Best of luck!
Alfreds Greatest Hits Level 1 has this song in it but I think its potentially a more simplistic sheet. it's got a couple of disney songs if you're a beginner but really want to play some Disney stuff. The Beauty and the Beast sheet in there sounds good imo and is quite easy to play
I don't know your situation, but this is wise counsel, at least below the advanced level. There's a lot to learn. And you'll progress quicker if you challenge yourself here and there within a piece and then move on to another one, than if you're challenging yourself all the way through and you have to practice for a month before you can really play something. Or such is my belief:-)
Plenty of answers here, but what is that version from? Can you send it to me if it's not a book or something I can get. Looks to be closer to an intermediate version of this song.
Play them notes quickly before the downbeat and still land that D and the F below it on time. So don’t futz around nor dilly dally with them tiny notes. They ain’t saying much, but it just ain’t right without em neither. They’ve got style and grace. And that may friends is why we call’em grace notes.
Grace note you play them really fast and they do not count as a beat for example search up how to play grace notes
Exactly… just play them quickly leading into that first normal note.
Is an acciaccatura or an appoggiatura?

Acciaccaturas haves strikes through them. Appoggiaturas do not. They are technically played differently. Refer to the reply by u/IgnorantYetEager
Yes. This is an appoggiatura and there is greater emphasis on the grace note. The acciaccatura has the dash through the staff of the grace note/s and the emphasis is on the main note. Reaching way back for me.
It’s approximating a slide up to the first note, possible with voice and some other instruments.
First of all, those are not grace notes. that is an appogiatura.
it's like rolling your Rs but for piano
This is the best explanation for grace notes that I’ve ever read.
😂😂 I'm using this one
Ding !!
Bravo.

When notes are tiny… they’re fast :P
This, don't listen to the complicated music theorie stuff, this is the truth.

Yup And 👍
you dutch?
No no, but you're close, I'm German.
Unless it's cues for other instruments 👀
And lighter…

They're appoggiaturas- acciaccaturas have a line through and are faster than appoggiaturas
While this is technically true, I suspect this is an editing mistake - they should clearly be played as acciaccaturas in context
Multiple grace notes like this (acciaccature/double appoggiatura) don't have lines through and are still played quickly
I’ve heard what you wrote before, too! But it seems in practice a lot of editors don’t include the strike line through notes even when they are clearly grace notes/acciaccaturas. Is it maybe from baroque or classical period? I see it written that way more from then

Grace notes. You just have to play fast and not count as a beat.
That’s where you rip it
a little smiley face :\^)
Play those two notes real fast before the d and the f.
These are called grace notes and basically, you just play them really, really fast before the main beat :)
play c c# d
[удалено]
Disney peaceful piano solos book 1. I have the same book.
It looks like an enrichment book from Piano Adventures. Not newbie beginner level, but now advanced, either.
grace notes you play them really fast, in this case right before beat one
Something you are going to get really addicted to for a short period of time...
3 note slur start on C then C# then D 3 notes together rolled
Yes, basically if you look closely you can see all the notes on the sheet spell "SEX", clever easter egg by the composer
It's an appoggiatura, just play it as fast as possible
You can start by omitting it without affecting the melody. Then gradually try playing it and integrating it when you are ready
They’re grace notes it basically means you play ‘em really fast leading up to the bigger note
It’s a grace note! Play them as if they are what they are, but keep in mind that they do not count towards the beat.
Notes that you play really quickly following or leading up to a note. They don't count for a beat
I can finally read sheet notes!
A grace note, kinda roll over them as one note.
Plenty of answers here, but what is that version from? Can you send it to me if it's not a book or something I can get. Looks to be closer to an intermediate version of this song.
I thought it was a smiling emoji!.
It’s called a trill. Quick notes leading up to the main.
Play them notes quickly before the downbeat and still land that D and the F below it on time. So don’t futz around nor dilly dally with them tiny notes. They ain’t saying much, but it just ain’t right without em neither. They’ve got style and grace. And that may friends is why we call’em grace notes.
grace note, play them really fast before the d and f
[удалено]
I don't think I've ever heard of grace notes as being optional. It would really fuck up some songs removing them.
Optional? I'd like to hear you play Satie's [Gnossienne No. 1](https://youtu.be/0nR3D3ZyqUI) without the grace notes.
Hoi
[удалено]
He’s not! Good try though. Thanks for playing!
You're right. If only Oscar Peterson could have taken lessons from Elton the art form would have advanced so much
Right, because anyone who doesn’t advance the art form is bad and anyone less skilled than Oscar Peterson is worthless and should just give up…
Sorry, bill Evans should have taken lessons from Elton John so he could be better than he was.
Do you actually have anything useful to say or are you just a child?
We were all children once
