    (page 1 of 5)

    Trill
    Beginning on the upper note, the trill is initiated on the beat, with at least four repercussions
    (although the exact number depends on the value of the note, tempo of the piece, etc.).

    The top staff displays the ornament as commonly notated, the bottom staff represents how it
    is actually played.

    Mordent
    Mordents are initiated by quickly alternating the written note with the diatonic tone below.
    2
    Trill and Mordent
    A combination of the previous two ornaments, or simply a trill with a termination.

    Turn
    The turn begins on the upper tone, returns to the written note and continues on to the tone
    below, before finally concluding on the written note.

    Ascending Trill
    Begins on the tone below the written note, usually concluding after a minimum of four
    repercussions.

    The top staff displays the ornament as commonly notated, the bottom staff represents how it
    is actually played.
    3
    Descending Trill
    Begins on the tone above the written note.

    Ascending Trill with Mordent

    4

    Ascending Appoggiatura
    The appoggiatura is always played on the beat. It takes half the value of the written note,
    except when that note is dotted, it then consumes two thirds of the written note.

    The top staff displays the ornament as commonly notated, the bottom staff represents how it
    is actually played.

    Descending Appoggiatura
    Same as the previous ornament, but begins on the upper tone.
