 Re: Dead Easy Upper Eb To Altissimo Eb Leap!

I've marked this slurred 8ve Eb leap in the part to remind me in case I forget (which I probably would) - "Lift RH1 only". I think this fingering works on cor as well (I'm pretty sure I tried it out), so it should also be good for d'amore.

On a different note ('scuse the pun) which I've mentioned previously (and put here specially for any recent readers), as we know an A#-B (or Bb-Cb) trill is always a pain on oboe as you usually have to hold the small spatula key down along with LH1 (to prevent getting a C natural instead) and trill with LH2 (flutes, clarinets and saxes have no trouble with this as they just play B and trill with RH1).

In the lower register you still have to use the regular trill fingerings (or trill the G# key which can be tiring after a while), but in the upper register, play A# (Bb) as normal and trill with RH2 (8ve2 xxo|x+o) as the fingering 8ve2 xxo|xxo gives a good high B natural (+ is the trill finger). On thumbplate systems, play A#(Bb) and trill with both RH fingers 1 and 2 together.

You can also do an upper register A-B trill by playing A and trilling with both RH fingers 1 and 2 if you find trilling with LH2 a bit taxing.
