JeanJean Vade Mecum

Jean Jean in his Vade Mecum exercises instructs to keep certain numbered keys down, but in my edition of the book, there is no schematic that explains what keys he is referring to. Can anyone direct me to a reference that would clarify what these numbered keys are? Thanks!

Yeah - I used to wonder why there wasn't a keywork diagram at the beginning of the book that the numbers all correlated to.

I'm working on page 5 and deduce that #9 refers to the Ab key and #5 refers to the middle finger of the right hand.

I'm guessing it's a reference to some old fingerng chart.?

When I worked from this book I found it pretty easy to infer what Jeanjean wanted. Can you be more specific about and exercise and a measure?

Discovered this via Google:

Jeanjean uses a not-entirely-straightforward fingering scheme, and doesn't provide a legend. As best I can tell:

* 1 = LH E/B
* 2 = LH F#/C#
* 3 = RH F/C
* 4 = RH G#/D#
* 5 = RH sliver Bnat/F#
* 6 = LH C#/G#
* 7 = RH 1st (lowest) side key
* 7 bis = LH sliver D#/A#
* 8 = RH 2nd side key
* 9 = LH throat G#
* 10 = LH throat A
* 10 bis = RH 3rd side key
* 11 = RH 4th side key
* 12 = LH thumb register key
* A = RH E/B
* diamond shape = LH thumb tonehole
