Legato is the sound that is connected by a connecting line on the notation. It is marked with a connecting line, indicating that the sounds of different pitches in the connecting line should be played coherently. In actual performance, in addition to keeping the mouth shape unchanged, inhaling correctly, holding the barrel in a beautiful shape, and maintaining a stable posture, the more important thing is to use fingering and breath. If the melody line of a melody is relatively stable without excessive fluctuations, then when we play this melody, we should pay attention to smooth fingering connection, excessive natural fingers, smooth and coherent use of breath, moderate intensity, full volume, beautiful timbre, and full of emotions. . However, if the melody line fluctuates greatly and the interval jumps wider, then it is necessary to pay attention to the flexible, rapid and accurate use of breath. It should fluctuate with the fluctuation of the melody line and the mood of the music, and the intensity needs to be adjusted appropriately. It should also be noted that the first sound at the beginning of each group of ligatures should be accented!
