          It's an alternate way to notate an arpeggio.




          arpège (Fr.), arpeggio (It.), arpeggi (It. plural): (Italian, meaning 'in the manner of a harp') a spread chord played from the top down or from the bottom up indicated by a vertical wavy line, a vertical square bracket or a curved bracket (the latter two signs are now uncommon).




          (Direct quote from Dolmetsch. Always a great place to start when looking for music symbols)

          • If the notes aren't supposed to be played at the same time, why are they on top of one another? Is the arpeggio too fast to be written correctly otherwise?

          • usually yes, but not necessarily. arpeggios can be played slow too and, secondly, there is much freedom in playing arpeggios. up/down, add notes, hold certain notes, play some notes more often... arpeggi are embalishements like trillo, mordent, they too are only notated as a symbol.
