soft, bass trill regulation, was: Question for tuner/techs who play.

[Barbara Richmond]

Hmmm, speaking of pieces composers wrote after they were dead (how's that 
for a segue?), a friend and I have been having a discussion about Schubert's 
Sonata in B (flat) D 960, first movement with the G flat (that's Gb1)-A flat 
(Ab1) trill in the left hand, played at pianissimo.  Barring any fault with 
the pianist (or not), would there be something about the regulation of the 
notes that would make trilling down there at pianissimo more (or less) 
successful?  I'd welcome both comments on pianistic technique and an 
analysis of what in regulation would help or hinder the performance.

Thanks,

Barbara (hope my friend doesn't mind I brought this up) Richmond, RPT
