Thank you for the clarification.
What's your opinion about Bordogni's trills?
Someone here posted a reply a couple of years ago saying that they should begin on the lower note, since the stuff was written after 1800.
But to my ears they sound better starting on the upper note, and that's the way I like to play them.
I am not sure what I should tell my students who may be using them in auditions.
:idea: Perhaps the Amy Salo article "Bordogni's Ornaments" would be helpful.
