Re: Question about Trills

For the one you mentioned in your sheets, Andy, I wouldn't play in the 1st Lage (1st position). I'd go to the 3rd Lage (3rd position). With your 3rd Lage, you'd have your 3rd finger (middle finger) for playing the note above. Lagenspiel is not a requirement for playing trills. The one has nothing t...
