Scarlatti K.1

on: March 16, 2011, 11:55:18 PM

I´m working on this wonderful sonata at the moment, and I think it's going pretty well, except for one thing - the trills

. I've managed to bring the piece almost up to speed, but I learned it without the trills, and now I have some problems "inserting" them in where they belong. It is mainly in bars 8-9 and 18-19 that I just don't manage to get it right... What would be the best way to execute those trills? I'm thinking of doing a A-G-A-G-A-G-F-G (bars 8-9), but there doesn't seem to be enough time for that... Does anyone have any good alternatives?

Why don't you try playing it lightly but fast?
