“I did a quick Emin gliss then listened to this. It sounds right. Perhaps maybe you would want to try an Emin7? That would be D, C flat, B, E, F flat G, A. ”

Hi – and thank you for the reply. It’s not really what I want to try; it’s what has been recorded. It says “Em”, so I am expecting Em.

Ok, I slowed it down, and here is what that sounds like:

You can clearly hear D# more than once as opposed to D; THIS is why it didn’t sound right to me.

So, the Q is: when a harpist sees that the key of the piece is in Em, sees that they have been instructed to play a gliss where the first note is E and the last note is E, do they play: E F# G A B C D E F# G A B C D E? That’s what I would expect…

Thanks again.
