Which term indicates a short, detached note?

Explanation:
Staccato. When you see a dot above or below a note, play it briefly and detach it from the next note, creating a crisp, separated attack. This articulation is what gives music a light, punctuated feel. In contrast, legato means smooth and connected notes, marcato adds strong emphasis, and a slur indicates the notes inside are played in one connected phrase.
