Thumb C to Altissimo F# fast trill

Author: 2E

Hey Bboard,

Any fingering suggestions for a [C6]

trill?

I'm currently tossing up between these F# fingerings ...

Th xxo xxo
Th xxo ooo plus top trill key

They both react pretty quickly, but still need to adjust voicing slightly.

Open to any other good suggestions!

Thanks for your help,

2E

As it's a tremolo, try going from oxx|xxxAb/Eb for the C to short F# oxo|oooAb/Eb.

I'm curious: which piece has this tremolo? Is it part of a soloistic passage?

I haven't tried it but did you try a combination of the top RH side keys along with the LH G# or A key throat tone keys for the F#? That's a weird tremelo for sure. ESP eddiesclarinet.com

Its in an Australian orchestral piece, not soloistic at all just more wild. I think the RH side keys in combination with G#/A keys only get up to sharpish sounding E's and maybe F.

Haven't tried Chris' suggestion yet but will experiment and get back with my verdict :p

Any other suggestions keep them coming!

Thanks,
