Slur | Definition

Slur

A Slur is an instruction or direction in music, written as a curved line over two or more notes, which indicates that they are joined smoothly as one unbroken phrase. When a slur is written in music for strings, these slurs are played as one bow stroke. In vocal music, slurs are sung in one breath.
