How LOW can I write Half-Step and Whole- Step Trills, and get CLEAR, FAST Trills in good intonation?
For half-step trills: As low as you want, as long as the fingering for the trill involves nothing more than wiggling the second finger. That means the following trills in the 2 octaves below middle C are less desirable: Bb-Cb, G-Ab, F-Gb, C-Db.
For whole-step trills, I'd stick with the same principle and use the ones where you can wiggle the first finger. 1-0, 12-2, 13-3 (on F and Bb horns).
