Which symbol connects notes of different pitches?

Tie Slur Coda Fine

Correct Answer:

Slur

Explanation:

A curved line that spans notes of different pitches indicates legato across a melodic line. This symbol is a slur. It shows the notes should be played or sung smoothly as one musical phrase, without rearticulating each note. For contrast, a tie uses a similar curved line, but it only connects notes that have the same pitch to extend the duration of that single pitch. Coda and fine are navigation marks: coda signals a jump to a later section, while fine marks the piece’s end. So the symbol that connects notes of different pitches is a slur, signaling smooth, connected phrasing across the melody.
