What is "articulation"?
Articulation in music refers to the way notes are played or sung, including how they are started, sustained, and ended. It affects the clarity and style of the performance. Articulation is indicated by various symbols and terms, such as staccato, which means to play notes short and detached, or legato, which means to play notes smoothly and connected. Articulation helps to shape the expression and phrasing of the music, guiding performers on how to interpret the notes and create the intended musical effect.
