Alright, so we all know about legato (Rochut, Bordogni, etc.)
There doesn't seem to be a catch-all term for articulated playing.
Staccato (well, that seems to be just short)
Marcato (well, that implies weight)
Detache (maybe, but isn't that basically staccato?)
We could be technical and say mezzo-staccato.
What about generic adjectives:
Bouncy? Pointed?
Maybe this alludes to a bigger issue.
Buddy Baker had his articulation numbers to indicate gradations of attack.
I've seen hints of a trend against playing the B-flat 7 chord of the Mozart Requiem in a totally legato style.
Still, wouldn't it be nice if there was one handy word....
Any ideas out there?
