But if the passage is fast, then the tone becomes less important. From
memory this is a point Brymer made too.

You don't always have the time to get to this key.
The Mazzeo invention used this hole with a fingering that is easy in
fast passage work and conducive to a smooth legato so you can use it in
almost any situation. Bet you don't use your side key for a normal flat
key scale in 16ths.

Yes, and although I know you, I didn't know that you had taught there.
