Mats and Jon, thank yoou for your comments,
I will \revert

Second, glissandos between different strings is - if not impossible to play
- very seldom to find, so
to: glissandos between different strings are possible but there seems to be no common
sense how to play :-)

I've played several orchestral pieces where the violin parts include glissandi ranging over several strings. Mahler Symphony no. 4 comes to my mind, for example. I'm still uncertain on exactly how to play it, though, but perhaps the idea is that every player does it somewhat differently and the collective effect is what the composer is looking for.

For solo guitar (which I guess this thread is about), I have no idea.

For something like the image attached played on guitar, I would slide up as far as possible on the 2nd string starting at the C, then make as elegant an arrival on the high G as possible. This sort of stuff happens with some frequency in guitar music and sound pretty good.

I have no idea how you do that across four strings on a violin. :)

Jon
