Question: How to play a turn, or gruppetto!?
My clarinet audition piece for college has quite a few of these, and I never learned how to play them!. I tried looking them up online, but I didn't understand any of the explanations I found!. Help would be appreciated!

Ex: I have a half note D#, turn, then it goes up to a C!. How would I do this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Go one note up, then hit the note again, then go one note down!. It's supposed to be very graceful sounding, and remember to feel the music!.
D# - E - D# - C - D# - "next note"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
