Staccato versus Legato

Firework Summer

Firework Summer

The guitar does not explode.
It glides.

The hand moves in a single breath across the strings.
Curved wood. Warm finish. Continuous motion.
Nothing is abrupt.
Nothing is broken.

That is legato.

A sustained thought.
A note that refuses to be chopped into pieces.
Energy that chooses flow instead of fracture.

But the world does not answer in curves.

It answers in sparks.

Each firework is a sharp declaration.
A flash.
A strike.
A punctuation mark in the dark.

That is staccato.

The guitar speaks in continuity.
The night replies in fragments.

Smooth intention meets sharp reaction.

Inside the player, the movement is seamless.
Outside the player, the response arrives in bursts.

The musician feels one line.
The universe delivers a thousand exclamation points.

Summer Fireworks is not about noise.
It is about articulation.

The body of the guitar bends.
The cable loops gently.
The red surface breathes.

Then the sparks cut through it all —
bright, fast, unapologetic.

Legato is how we feel.
Staccato is how the world responds.

And somewhere between the glide and the burst,
music becomes visible.
