Does anyone have a technique to master fast and even trills.  I am studying Mozart Fantasia in D minor and measure 86 has these fast and even trills.  Any suggestions on exercises to enable this and what fingering would be best.  Thankyou.

Don't play down into the keyboard, but rather subtly stroke the keys and allow your hand to rotate if it so desires.
