Hi everyone,

How would you play the ornament in bar 4 (a mordent on top of a turn on the note)?

G-F#-E-F#

Yup, what PW said - as even 32-notes.

Thanks, PW and RB.

Can you please explain the rationale behind the notes as I'd rather learn to fish than to be fed?

I have been playing B-A-F#-A (just playing the turn and ignoring the mordent) but the first note of the next bar is an A so that spoils things a bit.

I'll give your suggestion a try when I get home tonight.

Thanks again.

DL

As this is a fast mvt. I would play this one A-B-A-G#-A  You don't have time for more notes. The difference to playing only a turn is that you start on the main note instead of the upper auxiliary note. A single note with a turn sign has to be played like in the first example above, starting with the auxiliary note. Often the turn sign is written after the note, there you start with the main note and then play the turn.
