That's actually a great fingering...and it took me a while to discover it.
I was jaunting my way through the third movement of K622, and those lovely
leaping dotted quarters came along, and I found the sliver Eb was NOT
going to work. However, using the middle finger on my horn (no jokes,
please *smirk* ) is HORRENDOUSLY sharp (even in comparison with those of
my friends), and so I bobbled around with different combinations until I
came up with that...I think that was the eighth fingering I tried. Leave
it to me to come up with the simplest and obvious solution LAST. *laughs*
