Information About

Staccato




:

Sometimes in the Classical Period (the piano works of Mozart , for example) some sort of an Accent Mark might be used instead, which leads to uncertainty as to what the composer intended. Accentuation and staccato effects at times go hand in hand, but scarcely so in most modern works.

Playing staccato is the opposite of playing Legato . A staccato passage for strings does not necessarily have to be Pizzicato , though pizzicato itself might be thought of as a kind of staccato effect. For example, Leroy Anderson 's ''Jazz Legato/Jazz Pizzicato''.
