SLURS A slur is a line that connects two or more notes and indicates that these notes should be played legato. Legato means to play smoothly and connected.
Look at the example below and try playing the notes legato.
PRONTO PREP Play the example below to help prepare for "Morning Theme."
It is often easy to confuse ties and slurs. Remember that a tie connects two notes that share the same pitch. Label each measure below according to which type of line occurs.

PRONTO PREP Play the examples below to help prepare for "William Tell Overture Theme."
WHAT IS AN OVERTURE? An overture is a piece of music that is played only by the orchestra before an opera, ballet, or other stage show begins. The overture will often contain musical themes that will be heard throughout the rest of the performance.
The overture theme you are about to play, was part of Rossini's last opera, "William Tell" which premiered in Paris in 1829.

TANGO The next piece is a famous tango from South America. Let's learn about the important elements of tango music.
TANGO STYLE • Tango music and the dance form known as tango originated around the end
of the 1800s in Buenos Aires, Argentina. • Tango music is traditionally played by group of musicians known as an
orquesta tipica which includes piano, violin, guitar, flute, and bandoneon (a type of accordion).
• Melodies and rhythms in tango music are syncopated. • The tango is the national dance in both Argentina and Uruguay. • La Cumparsita was originally written as a march, but was later arranged as a
tango. Lyrics telling a story of lost love were added in as well and transformed this piece into the most famous tango melody of all time.
