 Re: Frustrated question about tempo, metronome, and playing a gruppetto

I too felt like the C# was a better fit on the turn.

Thank you. I feel much better now.

Sorry to get everybody all hot and bothered. [grin]

I realize there is no C# in the key signature, but when I was first trying out the notes of the gruppetto, to see how they possibly went, I almost instinctively played it as D-E-D-C#-D and then up to the F. Because that's the way the majority of turns sound like, in Baroque music. Which I spent many formative years listening to, a lot.

Anyway, if it's just a matter of taste, I don't suppose that it makes a whole lot of difference, yes? And since I'm just sitting here in the privacy of my bedroom anyway, and since my highest ambition is to be able to play hymns on Sunday morning with my church's (very small) orchestra, and since ornamentation doesn't come up very often during musical selections from the Methodist hymnal...

When I'm ready to start thinking about playing Carnegie Hall, THEN I'll worry about correctly playing gruppettos. [grin]
