DESCRIPTION:The choices that performers make depend partially on the presc
 ribed markings in the score\, but they also have interpretative significan
 ce and contextual value whilst being subject to the performer’s technica
 l facility. The successful integration of the musical intention and its ph
 ysical realisation is what propagates musical performance. Two violin prod
 uction experiments were carried out to examine one such performance choice
  - the pitch glide. The results suggest that durational variations are use
 d as an intentional expressive marker of musical structure. The wide range
  of performers furthermore shed light on the changing aesthetic\, stylisti
 c\, and technical values throughout the decades. The development and use o
 f the glide within the changing performance practices across the 20th and
  early 21st centuries will also be discussed.
