[Trombone-l] Bartok gliss question revisited

[Dennis Clason]

It's in The Miraculous Mandarin, and it's worse than in the Concerto.  
It goes B-F-B-F-B, so the "using string and a ring" trick won't work.  
It seems like Bartok refused to learn about the instrument, or had it in 
his head that the bass was properly in F with a handle.
