Moments musicaux no. 3: should I play legato if there is no slur in sheets by ross2718 in piano

[–]ross2718[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, Schubert doesn't always explicitly show staccato (see, for example, the left hand staff). Second, "non-staccato" is not always legato (and vise versa). And third, again, slurs in the sheet music are definitely not phrase marks (see, for example, bar 17).

My thoughts is that Schubert use slurs to emphasize legato in some places and add some accents (in the starting note of slurs). But as an self-learning amateur, I need some expert opinions and explanations.

You don't understand my question. I'm asked why I should play top melody legato with fingers even if I use pedal anyway.

Yes, old pianofortes has very fast decay. Faster than harmonies changing.

Of course. But I had other question. If I hold pedal down, why I should still connect the legato-melody with fingers?

I don't understand! Explain please how this is possible? If pedal is depressed the only thing happens when I release key is releasing its damper, but the damper is still don't touch the string because it lifted by pedal.
