Playing trill in Chopin, Nocturne Opus 9-2
on: November 22, 2012, 06:52:57 AM
Hi there
I am trying to learn to play the above mentioned nocturne by Chopin,
but I am having a problem playing the trill in bar 7 (see inserted image).
Could anyone please tell me how to play this trill?
Thank you in advance!
(I hope my english make sense - I am a danish citizen).
Greetings

A suggestion for practice - The fingering over the trill suggests that you start on F and alternate between F and G, but placing a turn at the end.
To practise this, you could try playing FGFGFG over the first left hand quaver, then FGFGFG over the second left hand quaver and then playing FGFGFGFEF over the third left hand quaver (as smoothly as possible) before moving on to the G in the right hand.
A trill is generally played as quickly as possible with a small turn squashed in very smoothly at the end to lead into the next note, in this case G.
