In another post, I wrote:

>> A common viewpoint is to think of a staccato passage as being made up of staccato notes -- so that the action of producing a staccato note, repeated, creates a staccato passage. Here we take the opposite viewpoint; namely, we take the staccato passage to be the fundamental structure, thinking of it as an interrupted legato. An isolated staccato note is then dealt with at the end, as a special case. >>

...and later:

>> Till now, we have looked at articulation as something best thought of not as an action that begins a note, but instead as an action mostly to do with the end of the previous note in a sequence.

But then, how do we deal with the awkward question of how we use the tongue when there are no other notes -- the 'special case' I mentioned at the beginning? In other words, what metaphor do we use when we begin a smooth phrase, or just one note? >>
