Hey, y'all who play #mandolin, especially #classicalmandolin (or analogously #classicalguitar #guitar), how do I interpret the slurs over the top?

This is Etude No. 1 from an old #French mandolin primer from ~1907 with 25 etudes in it. I am an amateur and this is andante, so my notes are decaying before I can link them together legato-like. Are these just phrase markers? Etude 2 has a note expressly instructing the student to use tremolo so I think tremolo is not in Etude 1.

First time #drawing in weeks. I’ve been motivated by sunny.garden and .art people. Sat my #mandolin (that I bought off of eBay right before starting law school) in a chair and sketched it. I’m also feeling inspired by the musical people of the fediverse to resume learning to play mandolin. I like that being here inspires me to create things.
I started getting back into #drawing this summer. It was a childhood hobby that I’d let go. Trying to pick it back up as a small meditative practice. I hope to replace that extra time wasted being addicted to Twitter with meaningful creation. This is my first time sharing my art online #ArtBrave
