A mordent is a musical ornament that adds a quick, decorative touch to a note. It involves playing the main note, then quickly playing the note just above for an upper mordent or just below for a lower mordent, and then returning to the main note. It is usually indicated by a squiggly line symbol above the note. Mordents add expressiveness and a bit of complexity to the music, making it sound more intricate and lively.
