The ornament is described by Mattheson (1739),[2] Spiess (1745),[3] and Marpurg (1749).[4]
Frederick Neumann[5] notes the trill following the dotted preparation is a main-note trill (that is, starting on the written note), and he cautions against use of the term as a general descriptor for dotted alternation as a prelude to a trill.
