Hi!
I am currently working on Bozza's Rhapsodie Nicoise, and one bar has stumped me in how to finger it. 4 bars after figure 7, there is a septuplet run which ends as a C# above the stave, followed by an F# above that, an E# and then a high A. None of the fingerings which i generally use seem to work in this combination- does anybody else have any ideas?
While we're on the topic, has anybody else played this piece at all? Nobody else I have spoken to seems to know it, including my teacher who knows a LOT of repetoire.

I think you'd be able to get from the C$ to the F# using the side-key (overblown side Bb) for the F#
TR xx0s|000Eb
From the F# to the A? I'll have to go try that during today's practice session.

I don't know the piece so I have no idea what is the speed or articulation so I'm not sure why regular fingerings wouldn't work.
I'd use:
C# TR oxx xxo
F# TR oxo ooo plus the banana key on the lower joint (or Bob's suggestion)
E# TR oxx ooo plus C#/G# key
A TR oxx ooo
For any of those you might want to use the G#/D# key or maybe other pinky key, depending on these notes on your instrument.
If this doesn't work maybe you can explain why so someone might have a better suggestion.

If you haven't already tried this, you might try:
C# RT oxx xxo
F# RT xxo xxx G#/D#
E3 RT xxx C#/G# xxx
A RT oxx ooo F#/C#
Best regards,

I don't know the piece either but it sounds like this is what I might suggest. Using the normal C#, F#, E# and then oox/ooop for the A. This is the same A fingering you would use if you were slurring from high E to A so you could slur it with out the voicing break to make the A speak. It should have exactly the same pitch as the "regular" high A. If it's a very fast passage I would not concern myself about the pitch of the F#. If it matters using the fork, sliver, banana key or an alternate F# could work. Good luck, ESP

I don't know the passage but I would suggest playing C# and F# with the standard fingerings, the E# without the right pinky, and then using the
"David Hite fingering" for high A" which is the standard high A fingering plus the 1st finger RH Eb/Bb key.
