What does glissando mean?
A musical effect in which a note is sustained while its pitch is smoothly changed to another note, often used in a gradual transition between two notes. In music notation, it is represented by an arrow or a curved line connecting the two notes.
Example
"The violinist's glissando added a touch of elegance to the classical piece."
