This is a bit off-topic being a saxophone related question, but I'm sure some of you must double, as I do.
For the first time I'm experiencing Ravel's orchestration of Moussorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition as a conductor, having played it many times on both clarinet and saxophone.
Looking at the score, I was amazed to see that the last 2 notes of the sax solo in 'The Old Castle' have a clearly printed glissando! This is never printed in the part and I've never been asked to do it by any conductor or indeed heard it played that way.
Has anyone heard it done or even discussed? It's not an easy gliss to do, but its not impossible and I can't wait for the next time I get a chance to play it. Ravel used glissandi on the saxophone so there's no reason to think it's a mistake.
