The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

What does LH quasi legato mean?

on: October 29, 2020, 04:13:42 PM

Hi all,

"Caribbean Mood" by Christopher Norton in "Connections 5 for Piano" has an indication that says, "LH quasi legato".

Almost legato? What does that mean? Portato? I don't know.

Resembling legato? As if it were? Not too legato?

Compared to "FULL" legato? What in the world is full legato?

Is there, like pedaling, 1/4 legato and 1/2 legato.

I just don't understand.

Thank you, Joe.
