With sharply detached notes (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staccato

(Other definitions for staccato that I've seen before include "Discontinuous" , "With sharply detached notes (music)" , "With sharply-detached notes" , "not to be played legato" , "with snappy sounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
