STACCATO (staccato, ital. - jerky, from staccare - tear off, separate) - a short, jerky performance of sounds that clearly separates them from each other. Belongs to the number of DOS. methods of sound production, is the opposite of legato - a coherent performance of sounds with the most smooth, imperceptible transitions from one to another. It is indicated by the word "staccato" (abbreviation - stacc, a general indication for a relatively long passage) or by a dot on a note (usually placed with the head, above or below, depending on the location of the calm). In the past, wedges for notes also served as S. signs; over time, they began to denote a particularly acute S., or staccatissimo. When playing fp. S. is achieved by very quick lifting of the finger from the key after the hit. On stringed stringed instruments, S. sounds are extracted using jerky,jerky bow movements; S. usually plays one bow up or down. When singing, S. is achieved by closing the glottis after each of them.
