Re: Short fingering

Andrew,

Going with oboeblank's standard fingerings, the easiest way to do C# to D is simply to lift RH1, in effect playing the D with lifted LH1 instead of the half-hole. There's a passage in the oboe part for Night on Bald Mountain where it really comes in handy. I agree that RH2 for high D is a stabilizing element that is sometimes rendered unnecessary by proper adjustment. I sometimes like to use it just to get a better grip on the oboe, particularly if I'm lifting LH1 for high D to enable a slur from, for example, above the staff B or A.
