<p>Most commonly used is the <em>trill</em>, the rapid alternation of a given note
with the diatonic <a href="second.html#second">second</a> above it. In the music from the
middle of the 19th century and onwards the trill is performed with the main
note first while in the music from the preceding baroque and classic periods
the upper note is played first.
