Michael,

As the one who did the first recording of this piece..... by the way with
the " boring piano version" to quote another messager..........God do I
have fingerings! They would be impossible to give over the e-mail. If you
want to FAX me your part, I'll write them in and FAX back. Sorry I did not
respond sooner to this whole mess.... I've been gone.

>I'm playing Joan Tower's Concerto and I'm having a problem or two (to be
>expected with this monster) On the third there are some real quick
>arpeggiated/scalar runs and I need a really quick fingering for high G
>that will allow me easy transition to and from F.

>I've used RT + 0 0 | 0 0 0 Eb and that doesn't seem like it's going to do
>it. I've also tried all of the other fingerings that I can think of (15
>in all) and I just can't find anything that seems to work. Any
>suggestions?? I know Dr. Spring has played the work many times and a few
