For vocal music, slurs are usually used to mark notes which are sung to a single syllable . A slur can be extended over many notes, sometimes encompassing several bars. In extreme cases, composers are known to write slurs which are near-impossible to achieve; in that case the composer wishes to emphasise that the notes should be performed with ...
Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...
The eleventh harmonic (i.e. 11 ⁄ 8 or 551 cents) as put forward by Kubik [9] and Curry [10] is also possible as it is in the middle of the slur between the perfect fourth at 4 ⁄ 3 and 7 ⁄ 5. The blue "lowered seventh" appears to have two common locations at 7 ⁄ 4 (969 cents) and 9 ⁄ 5 (1018 cents). [17]
Legato technique is required for slurred performance, but unlike slurring (as that term is interpreted for some instruments), legato does not forbid articulating the notes with a very slight interruption. Standard notation indicates legato either with the word legato, or by a slur (a curved line) under notes that form one legato group.
Musical phrasing is the method by which a musician shapes a sequence of notes in a passage of music to allow expression, much like when speaking English a phrase may be written identically but may be spoken differently, and is named for the interpretation of small units of time known as phrases (half of a period).
Post-tonal music theory is the set of theories put forward to describe music written outside of, or 'after', the tonal system of the common practice period.It revolves around the idea of 'emancipating dissonance', that is, freeing the structure of music from the familiar harmonic patterns that are derived from natural overtones.
