I would be careful in using the trill fingering because of the fact that it
could be out of tune and does not match the sound quality of the a and g#
before it. I have experimented with leaving fingers down in the right hand
when going from the g# to the b. I have found that by doing this you can use
the left side b or the right side b with better ease. I am finding that the
right side b pops less. I think it works well because when I play a and g# I
already have resonance fingerings incorporated so its easy to hold down the
right side b when I am playing the g#.
