Forms: 1700s– acciaccatura, 1900s– acciacatura (nonstandard).

Music.

An ornament in keyboard music consisting of a non-harmonic note a tone or semitone below the main note, sounded simultaneously with it and immediately released; (also in 19th and 20th cent. music) = grace note n. 1, esp. one performed as quickly as possible before an essential note of a melody. Cf. appoggiatura n., mordent n.Geminiani in his musical examples illustrates arpeggiated chords, in which the non-harmonic notes are evidently not to be sounded simultaneously with the adjacent harmonic note. The simultaneous or nearly simultaneous acciaccatura was sometimes called the ‘short acciaccatura’. In quot. 1876, the ‘beat’ is apparently the auxiliary note and the ‘twitch’ its release, leaving the main note sounding.

The Acciaccatura is a Composition of such Chords as are dissonant with Respect to the fundamental Laws of Harmony; and yet when disposed in their proper Place produce that very Effect which it might be expected they would destroy.

1876 J. Troutbeck & R. F. Dale Music Primer for Schools (ed. 2) 47 The beat is a short acciaccatura, consisting of its first note only, a semitone below any note to which it gives special force. The twitch is a short acciaccatura consisting of its latter note only.
