Best Answer

An appoggiatura takes on half the value of the note it is tied to. For example, if there was a minium (2 count note) with an appoggiatura, the minium note would become a crotchet (1 beat note) and the appoggiatura note would also be played for 1 beat. Normally the appoggiatura is emphasised (stressed/ leaned on).

An acciaccatura looks like an appoggiatura but with a line crossing it. It is also called a crushed note. Really, it doesn't take any duration off the note, but is like a before thought. It is played very fast with the main emphasis on the note.

What is an appoggiatura?

An appoggiatura is a type of musical ornament. It is like a 'leaning note' and is written as a grace note printed in small character, without a line through the stem, prefixed to a principal note and generally takes about half the time value of this note.It is not to be confused with an acciaccatura, sometimes called a 'crushed note' which takes up very little time value of the principal note it is prefixed to. You can tell the difference between them as an acciaccatura has a line through the stem but is also written in small print as a grace note.


What is the musical term of a short stat note played before the actual note on a piano?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "stat" note but I'm believing you must be referring to an "appoggiatura" and if there is a diagonal line through the stem it will be an "acciaccatura" which will be executed faster. Sometimes referred to as a "grace" note.
