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.Click Here to Return to the main Music Glossary page
