Hilary Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I know that the figure in the first box is a trill, meaning you alternate with the note above it repeatively. The second figure is a turn, right? How do you play it? And the third figure... what's it called? And what is it supposed to sound like?

chronos Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 The third one is called a mordent. For information on how each of the above are played see Wikipedia's entry on ornaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. S Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Omobono, Slipped on the trill there, but the others are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
