Remember, you've got to begin on the demisemiquaver at the end of the bar -- only not too staccato, remember -- and allow for the pause. From Wordnik.com. [Somehow Good] Reference
But you must not vigorously move immediately from semiquavers to demisemiquavers, as in this example, or from these to the next in degree -- that would be doubling the velocity of the shake all at once, which would be a skip, not a graduation; but you can imagine between a semiquaver and a demisemiquaver intermediate degrees of rapidity, quicker than the one, and slower than the other of these characters; you are therefore to increase in velocity by the same degrees in practising the shake, as in loudness when you make a swell.
