In general / or are you refering to a particular piece and time phrasing?

[casparma]

Sounds the quote did not imply the context very much...

.....Practice until, at the final speed, you play the temolos longer than you need in the piece. The best way to develop this endurance is to practice at even faster speeds. The final effect is a constant roar that you modulate in loudness up and down. The lower note provides the rhythm and the upper note doubles the speed. Then play the different successive tremolos i as indicated on the music....

ANy more help?

thanks

  Maybe it's pretty obvious, but the lower note is the lower pitch note and the higher note is the higher pitch note. I think what the quote trys to tell you is that you have to play the lower note at the correct tempo and then put the highers notes in between them.

  For example:

time --------------------------------------------------------->
         B  B  B  B  B    (intercalate the higher note)
       A  A  A  A  A  A  (this note marks the tempo)

  Or thats what I understand from the quote.
