How to play ornaments on the piano. We take a melody and fill it with the most commonly used ornaments, explaining what all the different signs for musical ornaments are and how each should be played. The lesson covers the Trill, the Turn, the Mordent, the Appoggiatura, and the Acciaccatura. It also explains how to invert an ornament, when to include accidentals, and how to incorporate the ornament expressively into the line.

So helpful, thanks! Is there a simple way to denote whether a trill speeds up or slows down? Writing them out note-by-note get very rhythmically confusing for the players, and I've been looking for a better way to notate this type of thing.

This is really the point of ornamentation. We don’t really want to play ornaments mathematically. The notion of speeding up into a trill for example helps to make the trill expressive and more integrated into the melodic line.

The dictionary shows that an appoggiatura can be played short like an acciaccatura if it has the slash through the stem. I have also seen two textbooks that say the grace note at the beginning in Mozart's piano sonata K. 333 was meant to be played as a 16th note.

@MusicMattersGB 2 жыл бұрын

I enjoyed your video so much! So well explained! Just two comments: I'm not italian, but I think the first double cc in "acciaccatura" are pronounced with a "ch" sound (like in "check"); and the "mordent" in baroque style should (generally) begin with the upper note, like the trill.

@MusicMattersGB 3 жыл бұрын

You’re probably right about the Italian. It’s pronounced both ways in many countries. I agree re the mordent generally starting on the upper note although there is variation of approach to that depending on the musical circumstances.

Always crystal clear and super helpful Maestro Gareth. I have two questions regarding the turn, if I may. First question: I have never seen inverted turns written with crossing lines, but rather like normal turn signs with the first hump going down, as if mirrored along a horizontal axis; is that exactly the same inverted turn or does it mean anything else? Second question is how to play a standing turn (like S) and its inverted homologous. Finally, I'd love if you considered posting a video on more ornamentation signs e.g. double mordents, embellished with parenthesis-like heads and tails, and so on. Thanks a lot for your great teaching! Stefano from Italy

@MusicMattersGB 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your kind words. Of course there’s a great deal of flexibility about ornament signs and what they mean in relation to different periods and styles. This video focuses on the mainstream. Can you give an example of a piece containing an S sign? Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.

@martialpanyvino 4 жыл бұрын

Hi ! Thank you so much for your videos Gareth ! I learn so much interesting stuff on your channel 😁 Yet, i have a question about the accidental sign (which means "natural" if i'm not wrong)... Is it possible to have a flat or sharp sign under or above an ornament symbol instead of this accidental sign ? Let's imagine i want to play a turn over the note E while the piece is in C major scale If it is a regular turn i should play F E D E But let's say i want to play F E Eb E (because i modulated to C minor scale or whatever) Could i put a "b" under the turn sign to indicate to play Eb instead of D while doing the turn ? Same question with a sharp sign above the turn sign... Thanks ! 😁

Hello, I would like to ask 2 questions. 1. The grace notes in appogiaturas you wrote it with a crochet. But what if the grace notes there are written with quavers or semiquavers, is there a difference? Does that affect the note values? 2. And how about double appogiaturas, I see they are usually written in semiquavers, so how to divide the note values? Thanks.

@MusicMattersGB 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. There’s no difference in treatment between single double or triple appoggiaturas. Quaver or semiquaver appoggiaturas might imply a quicker appoggiatura.

The appoggiatura generally takes half the value of whatever follows.

You can read a complete list of ornaments, as far as we know today, in Thierry Mathis, Le Clavecin en France (Latour) There is about 23. The real problem is to play the ornaments which are not written down. There are a few rules but mostly it is a matter of taste. But what is taste?

The guidance given in that source is valuable and one can inject taste from there. Thanks for drawing attention to it.

I am confused when should I play grace note before the beat or on the beat?

@MusicMattersGB 3 жыл бұрын

It rather depends on the situation but usually they come on the beat.

No ornaments = No baroque music. Great lesson.

Good explanation of the Appoggiatura as regards time value, but I wish Gareth had made it clear that the stress is on the ornamental note, played on the beat. In other words, “Appoggiaturas are louder than the following tone.” (C.P.E. Bach) To make this more evident for those of us who did not begin our keyboard studies in the 18th century, the slur marking is often used.

You’re absolutely right. Apologies if that didn’t come across sufficiently clearly.
