Slurred Staccato?
on: October 01, 2010, 02:15:27 AM
I was playing Diabelli's sonatina opus 151 no 1 and I was rather confused when i found a phrase that was all staccato notes, but they were slurred.  ??? to me, this seems like a mistaken, but im likely wrong. can anyone tell me what's going on in this phrase?
