After having my last copy torn apart by my demonic cousins, I have been provided another copy, thanks to Kara. Having said that I had a few questions that I wanted to ask regarding this solo.
1. tuplets-the simplest way to count them?
2. Measure 20- D trill key used, right?
3. Measure 23- double tongue the sextuplets?
4. 3rd octave F-G trill: Regular F + Trill the thumb key?
5. Meaning of "lunga" in measure 111?
6. meaning of the "ossia" in measure 141?
I understand this is a lot to answer, so please just answer what you can. Thanks so much, I want to prepare this early so I'll be able to play it perfectly come solo time, this might be the song I do, I need to get my private lesson teacher's approval. Thanks!

1. do you mean septuplets??
2. yes
3. depends how fast your single is, I use single or a combination of single and double
4. yes
5. hold the note a long time
6. choose which version of this measure you want
I believe there was a thread recently about this..see if you can look it up as she asked the same questions...that said, some do those as 3 + 4 or vice versa, I just count them as sevens, just don't let the audience how you're counting them, they just want to hear elegant shapes...
the sextuplets, in a row I do
3-4, 4-3, 3-4, 4-3 so it's faster at the top and slower at the bottom and gives it a cool little roller coaster effect. But a lot of people just play them perfectly even...
the 11's, etc. I don't even count, I just play it fast enough so I make it on the next beat at the right time.
For the sextuplets I just count that as two triplets, so 3-3.
My teacher says our brains cannot easily count/divide things easily into more than 4.. outside examples are phone numbers are 3-3-4, SS numbers are 3-2-4 and ya.
I do the sextuplets 3+3, but again that's just me. I, until I get more advanced or I'm told to do otherwise by a teacher or professor, just count stuff however it's easiest.
some, when thinking of those long runs as smaller groups, which is a great idea, don't accent them in a way that will spell it out to the audience, they want to hear a shape(s) made up of many notes, not individual notes
oh, so its ok to mix up the duration of some of the runs, maybe hold the lowest or highest note a little longer than the others? I think now I understand what you mean.
searching...
