A schleifer is a musical ornament used by Bach in such baroque works as The Notebook for Anna Magdelena. It instructs the performer to begin two scale steps below the marked note and slide upward.
Willard A. Palmer wrote, "The schleifer is a "sliding" ornament, usually used to fill in the gap between a note and the previous one."
