Altissimo Eb Fingering+Poulenc

Author: JSwillinger

I have been reflecting on what I have been taught in the past about the Eb fingering above the staff. My former teacher insisted to use the sliver key fingering and it must be vented with the right pinky Eb/Ab key, therefore ever since I have only used that fingering even if slightly awkward for the passage.

I am taking another look at the Poulenc Sonata which I had worked on with the same teacher. At measure 42 with a rapid switch between Eb and Db, the fingering is very awkward but they still insisted (although I think with much practice it is possible). I am wondering both if it is common thought for the sliver and vent to be a vital fingering and specifically what fingering you guys may use in that passage.

Very much thanks!
John
