Comment on Continuous Pitch Wind Instruments

Comments

When singing, it often sounds bad to slide between notes. Why is that? Music is rather discrete, rather than continuous— we like notes. But maybe that’s just what we are used to?

plenty of popular instruments are continuous, e.g. synth, theramin, violin, and plenty of singing styles value glissando: eg some chinese folk music
