Responses

the staccato note
the staccato note

the tenuto note

Answer 1

The tenuto note lasts longer. A tenuto note is held for its full value (or sometimes slightly longer), while a staccato note is played shorter than its full value, creating a detached effect. Therefore, between the two, the tenuto note will have a longer duration.
