Moonlight sonata 3rd movement12/22/2023 The notation doesn't tell you not to play the last notes. Now the question is, how am I supposed to know when to play the tie, and when to actually play the note, even though the notation tells me not to do it. I never thought about not playing it, because every performer I have seen/heared playing this piece always played this note as well.Īs you say in your comment to Tim both figures are identical: and also in the next bar 24 we have the same motif. Beethoven would have written this differently had he wanted the F-doublesharp held.) (This looks a little ugly, but mainly that's because it's a manufactured example. In the instance that you would want to hold the F-doublesharp for the duration of this slur, you would need to use separate voices, like so: As such, you will articulate both of those F-doublesharps.Īnd the same applies to the G♯s at the end of m. During beats 3 and 4, those two F-doublesharps are not tied together, but are rather part of a larger phrasing slur. That is what is happening at the end of m. 22 on beat 2, the F-doublesharp is tied into beat 3!Ī phrasing slur, however, will often connect multiple different pitches, including perhaps multiple instances of a single pitch. ![]() Ties in this style will only ever connect two of the exact same notes, and there will not be any intervening pitches instead, the tie's purpose is to lengthen the duration of a pitch you are currently playing. Ties and slurs are notated similarly, but the context determines what is intended. It seems that you may be conflating phrasing slurs with ties.
