Arguably more important than the quality of the notes themselves is how we bind them together. The concept of legato therefore hinges on an acute sensitivity to what is between the notes. I find this to be a universal quality in musical traditions around the world. Take, for example, Indian Classical music: entire emotional and narrative concepts are embedded into the journey one takes between notes. It’s actually formalized into techniques called kampitam, and various gestures such as meend, gamak, and jaaru represent a shared need to weave something sublime into the fabric of notation. The genre-hopping western classical violinist Gilles Apap spent years studying this art form and explores this very concept here:    • What is between the notes? Gilles Apap exp...  . Can we draw some parallels between these sonic values and the emblematic portamenti of Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, George Enescu, Yehudi Menuhin, David Oistrakh and other greats? To this day, these techniques and aesthetic principles remain a sort of idiosyncrasy in the violin world. I imagine a day when they are much more than that – perhaps even formalized and widespread modes of expression, as their counterparts are in the Indian Classical tradition.
