The '''staccato''' refers to a [[music]]al term that instructs the performer to shorten the note values in a performance. Generally, staccato notes carry half of the notated note's value. This effect create spaces between the music and overall performance, making this technique counterpart to the [[legato]] articulation. Staccato notes or passages are usually notated by placed dots under or above the notes (depending on which way the note beam is set).
