David Peacham said I was wrong!! Ha! I respect your opinion but I am afraid I am not wrong. Who cares what a trombonist call the noise he makes when he moves his slide while sustaining a note? If I call a violoncello a car, is it a car? A child may call the sound of a beached and dying whale music but this still does not make it so. I do agree with the part of your post saying that glissando is often used to describe a continuous change but using glissando in that context is still wrong. I know a tremolo is rapid (maybe not always at the speed of light but often kinda fast) fluctuation between two notes that are a semitone or more apart (ex D to Eflat, D to A, etc). I know that vibrato is ornamentation that involves the "rippling" of pitch. I know that my definition for glissando and portamento are right. If either term was interchangeable with the other it would be glissando where portamento was necessary even though that would still be wrong. A piccolo is a flute but a flute is not a piccolo.
