Mordent lesson

[Christian Bernard-Guelle]

Hi Johnny,
First of all thank you for your valuable lessons and partitions.
I have a question on Mordent lesson as I’m not sure to well understand all your comments on video.
I’m on E flat chart (alto) and understand :
– on Bar 7 : sequence is (F sharp G sharp F Sharp) instead of written F sharp, and then E
– on bar 11 :(C sharp D sharp C sharp) instead of written C sharp then B, mordent sequence beginning on the third beat of the bar.
Hope I’m clear !
Thanks again
Christian

The Mordent reminds me of the “Turn” e.g the quarter note “F” followed by four 32nd notes gfef

Yes Christian, that’s exactly right.

@William, very true. the mordent is even more basic than the turn…but still really effective
