: press drawing of the bow so that a dry rattling of the string is heard (for example, measure 75, CB II, III).
: strike gently the string with the metallic end of the bow. In case the end of the bow is plastic, use a coin, or a tuning
fork. The glissando line indicates the approximate position where to strike (for example, measures 16 to 31, CB I).
Harmonic glissandos with trills or tremolos are not to be heard as normal glissandos. The result should be somewhat indeterminate, vaguely resembling pink noise.
