When I try to play the simplest Bach Minuet, I just get killed on the trills. I love how they sound, but have trouble reproducing them myself -- it's like my fingers get frozen and I don't have any control over them. Any tips?

I own a very interesting antique of Abraham Lincoln. We believe it to be authentic (It is an engraving of his Cooper Union photo by Matthew Brady, around 1860-61 or so?!) and on the back is the signature of a 'Thomas Lang' - who MAY have been a Captian in the Civil War in MO, as part of Company A in the 24th Illinois Infantry. From what we've been able to asertain there was some form of mutiny around 1861 or so, and seven soldiers, including Lang were involved. Would love to find any further information that someone may have, and any further information on this antique we have would be helpful to - I can furnish a scan of that as well. Thanks in advance! -Jeffrey
