The glissandos in this piece can be painful and even fetch blood [as I discovered]until you acquire the knack of black note glissandos. There is a detailed explanation in the piece called "Woodlands" on how to perform these, qv. as well as in a folder in my sibelius site Played softly in free time and with the pedal continually on, try to capture the essence of a warm summer evening.
