Hmmm. To me, this certainly doesn't seem satisfactory on any level. It certainly doesn't 'get the effect', because starting on the octave harmonic (whichever string) makes it possible to have each harmonic ring out quite clearly, as is the case with the various other harmonic glissandos in the lower strings. And I'm not quite sure whether getting up to the notated top note in the 1910 version would even be physically possible, either because of the necessary reach with the hand, or because it's going to collide with the bow. As for glissing down, this creates a different effect again, certainly not one which could be claimed to pass for the scordatura. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
