Re: Dusapin 'If' high d#

I didn't mean to use that fingering for E7. Sorry to be unclear. For E7 I usually use

T/O x x o | x x x 1 (1 = G#/D# rh pinky key)

For D7 I usually use

T/O o x x | x x o 1 (1 as above)

Both those seem more responsive than the intermediate D# on my instruments, so playing the chromatic sequence helps establish what embouchure and tongue application works across the sequence, and ideally, elsewhere as well. There's not much difference in what you need to do muscularly between those notes and lower ones. Practicing octaves into this range is also revealing.

Things seem to get a bit harder at F7, btw.
