What is a "glissando"?
A glissando is a musical technique where the performer smoothly slides from one note to another, covering all the notes in between. It is often indicated by a diagonal line connecting the starting and ending notes. This technique creates a continuous, flowing transition between pitches, rather than jumping directly from one note to the next. Glissandos are commonly used on instruments like the piano, trombone, and harp, as well as in vocal music, to add a unique, expressive quality to the performance.
