Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Peter Golemme I was able to find it quickly. She sums it up pretty well below and aligns with Dominic's great advice on your particular prelude (apologies that it is a bit crooked):…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Peter Golemme Sure. It refers to the tenuto being used to indicate a 'speaking' of the note. I will find the part from Roskell's book in which she briefly talks about it for you.
