Rfv-sense: "slur curve above or below a passage of notes indicating that they should be played in a legato manner". Does legato refer to a slur curve in the music score? OED gives the definition "a legato style of performance; a piece or passage (to be) played legato" instead. RcAlex36 (talk) 07:07, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- I searched for phrases like "a legato written" (above such-and-such passage) and "write a legato", but didn't find anything. I found a couple citations for "a legato over", but in that phrase it's not clear that it means the slur/curve mark. One book that mentions "the staccato - contrast with the legato above" seems to mean the passage, sense 3, rather than the mark. Likewise, the one cite I can find (and also put on the citations page) of "Beethoven ties the legato over the bar at first but then ceases to do so", while it could mean the mark, seems (from context and from the way other books use google books:"the legato above") to mean the passage or style of play. - -sche (discuss) 02:21, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
