Talk:Appoggiatura

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

German: Vorschlag, Vorhalt

[edit]

This is a bit misleading, because while it is a "Vorhalt" (= note not belonging to the scale that is resolved) by harmonics, it is an "Appoggiatura" by notation (i.e. notated in grace notes). In other words: Not every "Vorhalt" is an Appoggiatura.

Clarification

[edit]

I'm 99% sure that an appoggiatura is a non-chord tone approached by leap and left by step. That's what I learned in music theory. The examples here don't involve leaping as much, and to me they look like suspensions/retardations. Can someone help resolve my confusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Discountclausula (talkcontribs) 15:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles' Yesterday

[edit]

Yes-ter-day is F-F-F, not G-F-F. There is no appoggiatura. Dignitee (talk) 09:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A quick glance through a Google Image search for this song should cause you to rethink this statement. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:26, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
