Subj: [kl] Chalumeau F# chromatic fingering
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 19:28:17 -0500

I was present recently at a lecture/demonstration by Anthony Gigliotti. He
said that the proper fingering for F# in the Chalumeau register in a
chromatic run is left hand index finger. When specifically asked about using
the left thumb plus the first two side keys for the right hand index finger,
he said not to use that fingering in a chromatic and that, "They are trill
keys".

Someone in the audience asked, "but how fast can you do that?" He
demonstrated that he could do a C to C chromatic over the break rapidly and
smoothly using "his" fingering for F# (of course!).

I've checked a number of methods and they all seem to say to use the side F#
in a chromatic, as I learned years ago in Part I of the Langenus method.

Any comments? Is this a common view?
