Beethoven Waldstein Sonata - octave glisssando

[trioelegiaque]

Barenboim demonstrated an ingenious way of playing the octave glissando in the 3rd movement, both hands playing scales!

it is so smart, no more hurting thumb nails!

Are you sure you aren't talking about the Bulow edition?  That's as old as the hills.  But the effect of the glissandi is incomparable.
