Note Ornamentation

Category: general


Ornamentation adds expressive detail to melodic writing and is common in baroque and classical-era repertoire.

These examples show how ornaments may be notated and interpreted in performance.

In practice, ornament execution depends on style period, tempo, phrase function, and edition conventions.
