Slur (music)

The slur or slur in the notation of the music is set when the interpretation of music more tones without breaks are bound to each other, so that the impression of a continuous curve is obtained ( technical term legato in contrast to the staccato, leggiero, tenuto or portato ).

The slur can be confused sometimes with the similar looking phrasing slur when a whole phrase should be played legato. We distinguish between a slur and the tie, are connected to the multiple notes of the same pitch to a single long tone.
