    • : smooth and connected; without breaks between the successive tones.

Examples

  • Among them is veteran effects man Rob Legato, who came to Cameron with the idea for the virtual camera.

  • He made me play it again perfectly legato, and with no one note "sticking out" more than another.

  • Double passages, such as double thirds and sixths, should be divided and each half practised separately, with legato touch.

  • But legato does not bring the best results in rapid passages, for it does not impart sufficient clarity.

  • The old instruction books tell us that legato must be learned first, and is the most difficult touch to acquire.

  • When single fingers can make accurate up and down movements, we can put two fingers together and acquire a perfect legato.
