Sir demonstrated to me where the "Adagio" is meant for, where the pulse is made out of quarter notes. He gestured to me

He said my trills were "ugly", to which I agreed. I was still struggling to make the trills "sound right". He suggested
I "count" the trills. However, that felt too much for me to handle, so I tried clinging to my sensation. I used my
(2) to "count", i.e. align my trills to the measure.
