Subj: rapid fingering help!!
Date: Fri, 2 Jan 1998 19:52:25 -0500

Hello All!

I'll be performing an excerpt version of Mozart's Minuet and Trio from
the sonatina in C for Solo and Ensemble in late January. Anyway, as I
student of clarinet, I'm having some trouble with the rapid fingering
parts in the Trio portion of the piece. To help me to be more accurate,
I've been making my fingers very tight and forcing them down, rather
than moving them naturally, but that doesn't seem very right to me.
After doing that for an hour, I have to stop, due to the fact that my
knuckles are sore. Now that can't be right, don't you agree? If anyone
can help me with these difficult fingering parts, it would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanx again!
