Well in your defense, the fingering for the high C# is weird and mostly an outlier on the instrument. The ONLY note where LH1 is wide open for its normal fingering.

I believe some of the later Barrett etudes reach altissimo F but I the G above it just isn't that common except as a "concerto ender" kind of note.

Pg 107 in the old edition corresponds to the end of the 40 progressive melodies; Pg 158 is the end of the final Sonata. While you are on 13-16 of the progressive melodies, I would recommend also starting out on maybe 1-4 of the Fifteen Grand Studies. They're more difficult than the 40 etudes, focusing on the technical rather than the melodic, but they'll engage your scales & theory brain in a way you might enjoy as an experienced musician. I find them a lot more fun to play, yet not frustrating.
