I am playing for a musical production here locally, and the transcription for band has much of the music in four and five sharps. I have been working on the scales and exercises in my Baermann Book 3 (ed. David Hite) to try to get my fingers thinking about these keys. There is a notation for a difficult fingering which I do not understand and for which I canŐt seem to find the answer.
This is found in the E major section, page 33, the Interrupted scale exercise toward the bottom of the page in the first measure of the second line. The last two groups of 1/16Ős are A-B-C#-D# B-C#-D#-E. There is an "R" over the B in the first group, and a horizontal bar over the B-C# in the second group.
Following this pattern, starting with the right hand for the B in the first group, when you get to the D# in the second group, it is set up for the left hand, for which there is no fingering. The only thing I can figure is that the horizontal bar must mean to slide from the B to C# with the left pinky, leaving the right pinky for the D#. Would the be correct?
This same figure appears in the musical transcription several times as well, so any help with this fingering would really be appreciated.
Many thanks,
