Jeax D'eau

[lostinidlewonder]

For those that have played this or can get their hands around this piece;

A student of mine who had difficulty with the double note trill that happens in the Jeax Deau in Bar 26 came up with this idea which I thought was pretty interesting. I tried it out and after a bit i did find that it was possible to use it without disturbing the flow. Tell me if it works for you if you play it,

The trebel has: GD  EbG three tail quaver double note trill. That means 32 strikes since we are in 4/4.

-So the first three is played in the RH. That is GD (together with Lh chord in the Bass GbDbGb) EbG GD,

-then the LH takes over with EbG(the last of the 1st group of 4 note 3 tailed trills, there are 8 groups of 4 all together) then straight after sinks into and strikes the singing note in the Bass Clef Db while Rh plays the GD together with it.

-then the two note trill is shared between the hands, Lh playing the EbG and Rh playing the GD, as the crotchet rest exists in the Bass.

-same procedure for the next half.

Even though i suggested that having the facility to do double note trills with one hand is an important tool to have (although not that many pieces demand it), I also warned not to overdo the practice on it. Double note rubbish can totally ruin and damage you. For him it hurts even if its slow, hes just not used to it as you can be, but this sharing of hands he offered totally evades the technique required, and does a pretty good job of it. I wonder as the Lh enters in the trill is that is noticeable disturbance in the flow? I can manage to control it so it doesn't but I wonder about others and the ease of it for them. cheers.

I don't know.
I tried out this idea, but I have to practice to be able to do it well.

I feel this is very complicated. The tremolo is after all not that difficult?
Also I think you lose some of the possibility to create sound colours if you divide it like that.
