What is the difference between grace notes with a stroke and one without?

on: June 30, 2022, 05:53:40 PM

Hello! I have encountered small notes (they are called grace notes if I am not mistaken) and some has a stroke or a slash in it while others don't. Can somebody tell me how to play these kind of notes? Do they have any meaning or what? Because I can play Rondo Alla Turca and I treat those small notes as if they were notes in a normal size. Thanks!

That probably explains it better than I would
