 trem. dental

I've somehow managed not to have ever played Ravel's Alborado del gracioso and haven't run into this notation before.

About 2/3 of the way into the piece (rehearsal #25, if you have a part to look at), the meter is 6/8 and clarinet 1 has a quick descending chromatic scale in eighth notes for 4 bars. The instruction appears above "tremolo" and directly under that, still above the first note of the scale, is "trem.(wavy line)dental."

I understand from looking it up that tremolo dental is flutter-tongue. Is the tremolo instruction above it a separate indication to do something else (e.g. trill on each note?)?

I'm hoping the whole combination simply means only to flutter.

Thanks,
Karl

Just flutter, like the flutes.

Thanks. I wonder why there are two instructions.
