Kroepsch daily studies. Book 1. Exercise 86 for example. What do the double plus signs indicate?

We had this exact discussion about 10 years ago:

http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=175297&t=175297

The consensus was that no one really knew since it is the ONLY time in all 4 Kroepsch volumes of the 416 exercises that it appears.

It could be (best guess) an alternate editorial symbol for a mordent.

Actually, an upper mordent makes the exercise a bit more interesting

Hardly a big deal - just more of an unsolved curiosity.

Thanks Glenn.

Perhaps we should merge this thread with the recent "Playing after Wisdom Teeth Removal" thread in their common need for mor[e] dent[al] [wink]

There's a 1929 Russian edition on imslp. It has mordents for these notes, and more of them (beats 1,3,5,7,9,10,11).

I've always believed they are just a misprint.
