Doubt about Heller op 46 1
on: July 16, 2010, 07:40:40 PM
How are those stacatto dots in the bass supposed to be played ?
For example, the first G in the left hand, is it supposed to be attacked
again (stacatto) in the second measure (with C in the bass) or just leave it pressed (according to the ligature sign) for a little while (and only the C bass is really played stacatto)?

The slur mark in that specific instance should be read as a tie, so the G is not played twice.  Release it simultaneously with the C below it.

Thanks. It left me wondering because then it is practically the same (to my ears, at least) as playing a single C note... but it seems the logical way of reading it.
