Mordant accidentally

on: March 07, 2022, 01:32:50 PM

In bar 10 of the Beethoven Sonata Op 11, 2nd movement, does the 2nd mordant have E flat or E natural?

If you mean the 1st movement, bar 10, - the 2nd mordant has an E flat.

Op. 11 is the ""Gassenhauer" trio, not a sonata. Did you mean Sonata no. 11 (op 22)?

I meant Beethoven's Grand Sonata No 11, Op 22. In view of the fast tempo, how would you play the mordents - as the usual 3-note ornament ie B flat, C, B flat for the 1st mordant & D, E flat, D for the 2nd mordent, followed by the notes C, D E natural F? Or would crushed notes suffice here?

I've played 3 note ornaments in these passages.
