Subj: Re: [DR-L] BASSOON: high G to Bb tremolo fingerings
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 12:52:57 -0400

Hello All. I apologize for one key omitted from my new fingering for the
high G/Bb trill (Stokowski/Bach) For the upper note I also add the RThumb Bb
key! This is needed for best tuning. So, The Bb will be <LH 1/2 X, X, X, Eb
key high a' and high c" keys together / RH Bb key added with high a' and
high c" keys from the G fingering> GOOD LUCK. Let me know how it works for
other players. Coridally yours, Gerald Corey
