Re: G# to A trill

For Mahler 7 specifically (start of the 2nd movement), this trill can be executed very effectively by putting the thumb on the G# key and trilling with the index finger. This is easy to do because the note before the trill is the throat A, so the index finger is where it will need to be and the thumb is already floating around in space. This wouldn't work if the previous note required the thumb to be on the thumb hole, but where the thumb is free I would say this is the best solution.
