Strange acciaccatura

[marcinpl]

Hello

How do you think I should play this (allegro):

Can I play and keep the first note from acciaccatura and play the second note as short "afternote" and then the move forward or I have to play all 3 notes separately? The problem is returning to the same note in short time withount unncecasary accents etc.

Regards
Marcin

It looks like it requires three separate notes. I can't tell you whether the acciaccatura is played before the beat or on, that depends on context/period (i.e. classical vs. romantic vs. baroque eras). But one way to de-emphasize the third note is to play it with your second finger - and that also sets you up for the rest of the phrase. It looks like it should be played with the thumb but that might tempt you to accent it.
