There's an interesting story here. It was, as you know, originally written
as a scale not a gliss, and the first performer did the gliss, which GG then
kept.

The performer should have played it on his black clarinet. But that sprang a
leak at the last moment. So he picked up his blue clarinet, and the gliss
emerged quite naturally.

In fact ... was it Dan???

What colour clarinet should one use for Gershwin's gliss?
