vertical trill: a trill produced by alternating the finger pressure between normal ( w ) and light (harmonic, O ). The result should be alternating normal and harmonic sounds. This trill can be played slightly slower than normal trills, so that both pitches can be heard.
a trill between two harmonics: alternate between the two harmonics by lifting the fingers in turn to allow the individual harmonics to be heard; this trill can be played slightly slower than normal trills.
