I recently came upon some markings in an old score that I hadn’t seen before. It turned out to be an old notation for tremolo.. While trying to figure this out I stumbled upon this awesome article about tremolo!

There is so much to digest here.. one thing that stood out to me was how since the composers of today use computerized samples, they get a false sense of reality about what is humanly possible.
I’m currently working on a piece that has 3 measures of tremolo and am finally feeling okay about adjusting that slightly. Better to sound the best that I possibly can than try and emulate a computer 🙂
This is LA based Tim Davies website and has so so so much great info on orchestration, composing and arranging!
