It's Your Turn Again!

Piano music is littered with ornaments and decorative devices, like trills, turns, and so on. Sometimes they're abbreviations, saving composers time, and sometimes they're easier to read than if they were written out in full. But I've written them out in my second "turns" exercise to help you understand exactly what turns are and why you play them the way you do on the piano.
