    Examples[edit]

    Pieces which utilise the effect include:

    Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major


    Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 21 (third movement)
    Carl Maria von Weber: Konzertstck in F minor
    Johannes Brahms: Variations on a Theme of Paganini.

    Injuries[edit]
    Due to the nature of this technique, over-practicing without awareness can lead to injury, which includes
    superficial wounds, bruises and tendinitis.

    Variations[edit]
    One-handed double glissandi are sometimes executed at intervals other than an octave, the most
    common being sixths. Franz Liszt's piano transcription of Hector Berlioz's Symphonie
    fantastique contains, in an ossia (optional replacement measure) in the finale, a glissando in sixths
    played upward with the right hand. The Alborada del gracioso from Maurice Ravel's Miroirs contains
    glissandi in thirds and fourths in one hand.
