Need help with a tricky trill!
Hi! I've been curious about this problem for a long time because I've always wanted to play the well-known Vivaldi's "Winter" Largo, which suits the recorder beautifully and definitely is not the hardest piece of him to play. But... it has that really tricky and LONG Eb-F trill at the end (it's like 10 seconds long), which seems just impossible to play on the recorder! Yes, I've watched Sarah Jeffery's video on how to play trills but this particular one wasn't included! Now I can play E-F and G5-G5#(A5) without much trouble, but I need the Eb-F for this Largo desperately! There's one alternative fingering for Eb, but it doesn't sound good (besides tricky movements of different fingers). I've tried to find some "cheaty" way of playing it but couldn't.
I found two lovely performances (one by a (semi?-)professional player with the ansamble) of this piece on the recorder (except obvious amateurs), but they both don't play this long trill at the end—instead, they make a quick trill before the two long notes, and that's it!
I know it was written for the violin, but is it really impossible to play on the recoder without ignoring the score?.. It sounds very important to this piece
