 Articulation question
Author: Bennett 2017

How should notes without any slurs or staccato marks be played in comparison to the same notes that are both slurred and have staccato marks?
Is there a difference? Do the two notations mean essentially the same thing?

Notes that are both slurred and have staccato marks should be played with a light tongue, just grazing the tip of the redd with the tip of your tongue should be enough. Notes with no articulation markings should be distinct from the previous and the following note, but not be as detatched as staccato.

Hope this helps

The primary notation for the passage will appear at the beginning, above the staff; eg "Agitato e con fuoco" or "Animato" or "larghetto".

These describe the fundamental approach for unmarked notes.

I would suppose a dublet with each note marked staccato and connected by a slur would not be played at the same length... abbreviating one?

I believe we have some working pros that can more accurately pin this onto any specific phrase.

I fear that notations of this sort mean what the composer intended them to mean. It would be unwise to assume that all composers intended the same thing. But I think Liam is essentially right in stating that this marking is more to do with strength of articulation than with the length of the notes.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

I think that Liam's explanation is a good one. Smoothly, connected, but with a "start" to each note.
