Re: Shaking trills

Sherman, in Shostakovich 5th symphony 2nd movement: beginning of the Eb-clarinet solo 2nd bar, bar 14 in the piece, I usually “shake” that trill (G#-A) with the first side key. You understand my reasons for doing that. I have chosen to do so because I believe it corresponds well with the character Shostakovich has intended. It’s a heavy Scherzo-Allegretto and I try to avoid an accent on the critical note but I want the trill really fast. Would I be a victim of your criticism if you saw me doing that in a concert? In that case, can you develop why I shouldn’t do so according to your judgment?
