Does that mean that any appogiatura occuring during the, say, 1st half of the 17th century is short, or would that be somewhat simplistic assumption, too? >=A0as did the trill (from a lower note start to upper) during much > the same period (Donnington pp 236-259). Does that mean that any trill occuring during the, say, 1st half of the 17th century has a lower note start, or would that be somewhat simplistic assumption, too? >=A0The simplistic assumption > that there was a standard 'baroque trill' =A0(eg Monteclair's form) > throughout this period of great musical change is not borne out by the > contemporary evidence.
