Title: Trill Execution of Beethoven Opus2no3movt4
Post by: beethovenopus2no3movt2 on July 19, 2012, 04:49:04 AM
Hi performers. This seems impossible. Is there an easy way around this 5 finger trill? ??? This nightmarish trill happens at bars (190-191)

Yes, this occurs at (290-291) Beethoven is going trill crazy. :-X

I'm assuming you mean 290 rather than 190.

Yep, it's a bit of a nightmare. You need to practice it slowly at first and gradually build up speed.  It will probably always be a bit slower than your normal trill, so you need to be especially careful to make sure you start of the single note trill slowly enough that the double one fits as a natural extension of it rather than sticks out.

I just looked at the score on this. This just proves that when Beethoven composed, anything worth doing is worth really overdoing! Not only has the right hand single trill been going on for 8 measures before the double trill - the left hand has been trilling along as well (but only a single trill, even Beethoven has his limits, I guess). Good luck - going slow at the start and being loose is the only way I could approach this beast.
