It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: "Trumpet triplets played on the downbeat" Are they?

The triplets that Chris and I are talking about are on the second page of the score marked "flüchtig." In fact the instruction on the bottom of page one seems to indicate that ALL of the triplets in the theme should be played in a somewhat fleeting manner, like military fanfares (I don't read German, so someone please correct me if I'm getting this wrong).

As I beat time, the triplets on page one are on the "and" (fourth quarter-note) of each 2/2 bar. They aren't metronomic, and I don't know of too many trumnpeters who play it that way.
