I WONDER - What Does Legato Mean In Music?

Legato is a musical term that signifies playing notes smoothly and connectedly, without breaks or silence. It contrasts with staccato, which involves short, detached notes. Legato is often indicated by a slur, a curved line connecting the notes, and it imparts a sense of grace, beauty, and calm to the music.
