Tonal Composition
An appoggiatura is a non-chord tone that is approached by a leap and resolved by a step to a chord tone. It serves as an embellishment that creates tension, leading to a sense of resolution when it moves to the main note. This musical ornament can add expressiveness and complexity to a melody, often found in both classical and contemporary music.
