 Trill fingering

Anyone know of a good fingering for a trill between altissimo E->G#?

Much thanks.

Play the [E6] as TR oxx/ooo

Tremolo to [G#6] by adding TR oxx/xxx (F#/C#)



Another choice is to play the [E6] as TR oxx/ooo (Eb)

Tremolo to [G#6] using the fingering TR oxo/xoo (Eb)




You'll probably find the 2nd choice easier to voice consistently.

For GBK's second tremolo choice, I would keep the LH little finger C/F and RH Eb/Ab down for both notes. Then just trem the RH first finger.

The first trill fingering is the one i went for too, but after 1-4 trills the E fingering moves to an A.

The second fingering is only slightly better but is very clunky..

Any other suggestions..?

This is for a relatively modern Australian piece and is very exposed.

What's so "clunky" about trilling just the first RH finger? I tried my suggested fingering yesterday and it worked quite well with a little lip control.

Again, play E6 normally except with both the RH Eb and LH C little finger keys down. Then, just lift the LH first finger to produce the Ab 6. Voicing may be a challenge at first, but it's definitely not "clunky"........

And I do agree, "Shoot the composer".

Sorry William, the fingering suggested to lift the LH 3rd finger in addition to the RH 1st finger. Will try this again later today.

Unfortunately Eb clarinet isn't really an option in this instance, Chris :p
