I have been looking at the options for the G sharp to A trill in the throat register, and would like some advise around what works best, in terms of ease of execution and intonation.
Any suggestions would be most welcome

The G# to A A's you would normally finger them, or the G# + right hand 2nd trill key.

On Boehm, I've always preferred using the left index finger. It's not that hard an execution for a nice subtle trill, and has the most even sound in my opinion.

I would trill it with the standard fingering. Work to hold the G# down and trill using the first joint of the index finger without moving the rest of the hand, wrist or using any other extraneous motion.

You could always cross your right hand index finger over and trill if you can otherwise hold the instrument.

Simple! Just trill the thumb key, which works great on my R13.

In a Pipe Dream:
....a sliver key between the right hand's pointer and middle finger holes, operated by the right pointer to open and close the throat A vent...
Blue Tooth Enable ![[wink]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie3.gif) or available on upper and lower joint combined clarinets, or connected like the 1-1 Bb/Db key on upper and lower joint separate instruments, only interfaced down the other (player's left) side of the clarinet's joints.

To put the trill in context, it appears in the first full measure of the 3rd of 32 etudes by Rose, and is a half measure marked andante sostenuto. It is rather exposed, so knowing the best option is v useful.

An effective trick I stumbled on is to play G# with your LH thumb, leaving the LH index finger completely free to trill the A key. This won't work in every context, but it's often a great way of being able to churn that trill out securely.

I know that some like using various other "trick" fingerings, but I generally think it is best to spend some time and master the traditional fingering. One solution is to put a metronome on a reasonable tempo and then work on playing very evenly with good finger motion and control in very measured divisions- quarters, eighths, triplets, sixteenths, sextuplets, 32nds.

I've always played that trill with the normal fingering, trilling LH index finger. For a longer trill - for example one that extends over several bars - I would either use the 2nd from top RH trill key or reach over with my RH index finger and trill while holding the G# key with my LH index finger.

For Ab to Bb:
I've finally gotten an index/thumb working well, so I go with that.'
I think for trills it is key to understand that you don't need to shake quickly at all. In fact slower trills often are clearer for the listener and more musical.
