Dear Ed and folks,

As I am preparing the Haydn concerto for a performance in November, therefore I try to find the answer of some questions that I always had as far as "authentic" performance practice of Hummel and Haydn is concerned.
On of those is about...

THRILLS

1. How do you start the thrill:

a/ Do you start it on the upper or the lower note? Why?
Many trumpeters (Maurice Andre is just on among many others) start the thrill on by the upper note, but I always thought, that this was rather the baroque way. My former teacher was advocating to start by the lower note (as this is classical as opposed to baroque) and I have found this very thoughtful, but never found anyone else doing it that way.

b/ Speed and rhytm

Do you start your thrills slower and getting faster afterwards on long note thrills? Do you measure exactly the value of the notes for every beat?
Example: Start with double crochets, than double crochet triplets etc or just go faster without worrying about the exact timing of every note?
