Re: G# to A trill

I tried the lh index trill a found it's doable. Not the fastest, but decent - and it has the best sounding trill note. Thanks to the group for pointing it out this as a viable option.

Some trills or tremolos are too awkward using the natural fingering, and their trill fingering sounds substandard. I think I heard Stanley Drucker quoted as suggesting the use of the natural sounding fingering just to start such a trill, and then switching to the trill fingering for the rest. I tried it, and somehow that does seem to make the trill fingering sound better - maybe just to me the player, but still.
