Debussy Pour le Piano Glissandi
on: September 16, 2013, 12:23:57 AM
I'm learning Debussy Pour le Piano right now and I'm working on the prelude. My teacher is currently away so I am practicing on my own. I was wondering how I should play the glissandi and in the prelude without injuring myself. This is the first piece I've played with glissandi in it. Any help would be appreciated!  :)
