Re: Copland Concerto Glissando

I've always just used the regular altissimo D fingering by gradually pulling my RH ring and middle fingers and LH index finger off the holes (and leaving the LH ring and middle fingers and RH index finger on the holes). One you "catch" the gliss (that is, once you read the stage of the gliss in which your oral cavity has more control over the pitch than the instrument), it's easy to "voice" your way through the rest of the gliss. It's not necessary to slide all your fingers off the holes.
