In music, legato indicates notes being played or sung smoothly and connected. There should be no silence from note to note. The opposite of legato would be a term representing short notes, with an absense of sound in between the notes. Staccato would be a good term to represent this definition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legato Nov 29 08, 8:19 PM
