It indicates the smooth, connected manner of playing called legato.

Leg1to, an Italian word, means "bound together."
The notes bound together by a slur are to be played
without any break or gap between the notes; a de-
pressed key is allowed to rise only when the next
key is depressed by another finger. DE FG AB C D E F G A

A lwo-noh· slur has Lwo notes played legato, with a gra ful "release" on lhe secontl note.

Playing a Two-Note Slur:

1. "Fall" into the first key (from a high wrist to level with forearm) letting the weight
of the hand and arm "sink" into the key.
2. Play the second note with legato touch and a graceful rise of the wrist.
3. Continue that motion as the arm and hand follow through, "floating" forward and releasing the key.
