appoggiatura

Enlarge picture
Various symbols have been used in the past to indicate an appoggiatura, the commonest of which is a note in smaller type (top); beneath that is an approximation of how these are played.

In musical notation, a type of grace note, of varying length, occurring on a strong beat. It creates a dissonance which is resolved by the melody moving a note lower. It was a form of ornamentation used in the 17th and 18th centuries, and to a more limited extent in the 19th century.
