soft, bass trill regulation

[Barbara Richmond]

Vladan,

Thanks, perhaps I'll have a chance to work on my piano next week.  It really
needs it (I suspect my Renner parts are getting a bit sluggish), and this
could be incentive I need.  I'll let you know my results--whenever it is I
get to it.  :-)

Barbara
