Legatissimo is a more extreme version of the legato technique. A legatissimo section is marked by the same curved line placed under the notes of the section. In addition, a line is drawn under each note of the section to differentiate it from the legato technique.

Legato is an Italian term meaning tied together. Legato is a performance technique used in music. It creates a smooth, steady flow between notes. Every single note is played to its utmost length and then harmonizes straight into the following note, allowing a better crescendo or decrescendo of the phrase.

Notes can sit on a line or in a space. The height of the note determines the pitch. A higher line means a higher pitch, so moving up the stave represents moving right along the keyboard. We add ledger lines above or below the staff if a note is higher or lower than the 5 staff lines.

The opposite of “legato” would be “staccato,” which is abbreviated in crossword puzzles as STAC. A staccato direction consists of small dots placed directly above or below individual notes, and those notes are played in a short and disconnected manner, often in a faster tempo.

Well legato there's no sign of legato.

To remember legato means connected, think your leg is connected to your body. The term staccato (pronounced "stuh-caw-toe") means detached, or separated, notes. Staccato notes have space, or silence, between them. There are different degrees of staccato notes.
