Somewhat true - there's also an intonation issue, because string instruments tend to veer away from equal temperament as soon as possible ;)....I've dug the score out, and the violin II moment in question is repeated triplets, gradually descending C - Bb - Ab - G# - F# - E - D - C. Which when notated looks like anything *but* a wholetone scale. And yes I remembered right, there's a tie in clarinet II at the same point.
Now that you have an example in front of you, can you answer Johannes's question about how the tie is shaped and positioned?
Ummmmmm.....it's a really bad Dover reprint, which is my huge disclaimer. But no, it's not horizontal - but then clarinet 1 is on the same stave, and has a (genuine) descending tie. Hopefully somebody has a better edition, where we can get a clearer idea of what can be done in such situations.
