Dukas Sorcerer

The trouble with the piece is that it is taken way too fast. There is a
story that Dukas wouldn't talk to Toscannini, since he took this work
very fast.

Anyway, since the writer asked about 1 and 1 versus side Bb.
My fingering for this was:
When one plays F on the staff (first finger of the Right hand) and opens
the G# key just above it, (still playing the F,) one can get a G.
Then the fingering for the first bar in that section is:
High E, to D, top Bb (with one and one) and then this combination G,
Let go of the G# and play the D below it.

Good Luck with the rest.

We have a clause in our RSO contract that allows us to refuse to play
below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. At 65 it's dangerously cold already. Sorry,
I can't provide you with a specific humidity. But suffice it to say that
too much humidity will affect your pads, at least in the long term, and
maybe also for the short term. We also have a clause about playing in
direct sunlight. I'm not sure what bad effect that might have on mpingo
wood instruments, but the string players say it wrecks their varnish, so
we don't do it. I can't imagine that it's good for woodwinds of any sort,
either.
