Need optional fingerings for Ab, E, F, Ab

I’m working on the Hans Gal Clarinet Sonata op. 84, movement 1, allegro moderato. I’m struggling a bit with the cadenza in measure 78, trying to decide which fingering to use in the low register for the following note sequence: Ab, E, F, Ab. (see attached).

I can only think of two options (and they are both awkward):

1) Going from the Ab to the E, use the left pinky for the E and while it is still depressed switch to the right pinky on the E, before playing the F with left pinky.

2) Going from the Ab to the E, slide the right pinky from the Ab to the E. This makes a lot of key noise, which I can somewhat dampen if I lightly tongue the E.

Does anyone have other suggestions?
(Sorry I tried to attach the image of the notes but it didn't work.)
