Quiz #1(Pictures at the Exhibition)

Thanks for all the replies.
I always thought that there were only three choices to play this:
1) Sliding with the Left pinky to low F
2) Sliding from the second note (F) to low E with the Right hand pinky
3) Sliding from the third note (E) to the Db with the Left pinky.
(what I use)

Lo and behold, Jack Kissinger sent in a fingering that requires a lot of
cross fingering dexterity.
And it works! And it's there.

I always say "live and learn". Thanks Jack!

The reason for the quiz was to see how averse players are to sliding.
But not so!.

In a future posting I'll put in a slide that occurs going down the scale
of Ab.
This is a useful slide and can solve some of the passage difficulties in
other pieces.
Coming up soon.
Thanks to the members who participated.
