Thanks, Scott. For there's a choir piece I'm looking at that's calling for the piano accompanist to play a tremolo followed by a glissando. Your demonstration of the progression helps!
I've played for decades .. mostly classical. But I am branching out and glissando is never easy. When my cuticles hit the keys it hurts a bit. I think this has been helpful, though. I think I press too hard.
I recently game across a devastating glissando in Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata 3rd movement (towards the end) where you need to play glissando octaves with the right hand going down, then the left hand going up. How do I do this without killing myself with pain?
The hard part of doing a glissando for me is to play it together with the melody of the other hand usually the left hand, I haven’t found a video of how to do that, any idea?
Well Hello Scott Houston, sorry if I spelled your name wrong. Just saying, thanks. I'll go work on my "glissando". Oh yes, as someone else mentioned, you introduced something new to me too, doing a glissando with two or more intervals.
Thanks for this video! I never thought to do a glissando with multiple notes (like a 4th), definitely going to have to play around with that.
How do you glissando on a wooden key piano? Hurts every technique!
Amazing thanks
Glissandos, ever so often, make me sound like the Pro I am not.
+clearevil Ha! Well said...

Hi can you upload an easy way to play a glissando on the Black keys please?
Thank you
Perfect
Thanks for this video!
You're welcome!
Sir, I'm not afraid of my finger injuries, but I'm rather afraid of damaging keys of my piano. Which is the best technique to not get my keys off?
I've never hurt a piano playing the way I was doing it in the vid for 30 years now... I think you're safe. :-)
LOL always wondered if this technique had a name is so cool going back to people like Little Richard or any dance music that I hear today! Major props
very useful tips
Amazing thank you
The song Shout to the Top by Style Council employs the Glissandro a lot. Give it a listen.
didn't know steve jobs was playing the piano. I'm even more impressed!

Agreed! The traditional "fingernail" approach is a killer... That's why the "palm" approach is more my cup of tea. :-)
Thanks man!

Wow, eye opening!

Him:"the glisando can be very painful"
Me:"The skin on my finger peeled of and not there is a scar....and ur telling me its painful?"

+Charmian O'Brien You're welcome - and you got my name spelled right too... bonus!
I was doing glissandos easy on a piano without weighted keys, then I got a weighted keyboard and tried the same technique and it hurt
how steve jobs plays glissando
