Lascia Vibrare Harmonic Glissando

Technical Practice
it is possible to glissando an already resonating harmonic either by placing the finger on the nut and glissandoing upwards or by gently re-depressing at the node point on the string and glissandoing in either direction.

Notes

• The glissando should be effected very soon after the initial articulation  of the harmonic due to limited sustain possibilities.
• Can be performed pizz or arco.
• Certain percussive and legno technique also apply.

Dynamic Range: pp-ff
Difficulty: 1-5
