Advice would be welcomed please if anyone plays this.

I am learning it for a concert – not had the first rehearsal yet. The whole score shows a diminished pattern arp with a crescendo in the left and right at the in tempo pochettino piu mosso – Anat, Cnat, Eflat, Gflat, etc with a top A nat.

My hand written part says to gliss it though and they certainly do on the internet (Renee Fleming at the Last night of the Proms) It still sounds diminished so are they making B and D and F all go into sharp as well as making A flat and C flat into natural? The score is pristine so no clues from anyone on it.

Thanks very much for your help

I am attaching the part here, with the pedal markings. I hope this helps.

When you have a glissando of a chord, it is implied that you use enharmonic notes to fill in the gaps. The setting for these glissandi is D#, C nat., B#, Eb, F#, Gb, A nat.

Thanks you very much Elizabeth. That’s much easier to read – it is also differently arranged in other sections with the left hand octaves. See you soon in Sydney! Love Philly
