| Jan 18, 2020 at 20:58 | comment | added | Andre | @Tim The composer is indicating that he wants the treble notes to sound long and legato, and the bass notes to sound as a soft staccato, shorter than the treble notes, but still sounding, given the fermata. It is a nice effect. It matches the diminuendo just before and the pp afterwards. | |
| Jan 18, 2020 at 15:47 | comment | added | Tim | @Richard - possibly, but the fermata effect is more a sort of volume change, pulsing thing, rather than referencing musical pitches, where here it's almost a sus, hence the question. | |
| Jan 18, 2020 at 15:16 | comment | added | Richard | @Tim Perhaps because the treble pitch changes? That doesn't completely answer it, but that may have been the logic. | |
| Jan 18, 2020 at 14:22 | comment | added | Tim | Strange that the treble notes aren't portato as well? | |
