Tocatta and Fugue

In the Stokowski arrangement, 6 after 14, there is a pattern going A(throat)-C-A-F sharp-A-FSharp that repeats. Is there a trick to doing this really fast?

If you want, the only thing that could be made easier without putting all the fingers down over THE BREAK you could use the side C fingering. I believe, with an A, it's with the 2 top keys.. I forgot, actually, i'd have to play it myself on the clarinet. But that's the only way i would see you making less movement, making the runs more smooth.

I've been trying that and it helps a bit...is there any easier way to avoid the regular F sharp fingering?

F sharp can also be played with the third finger instead of the middle, or as a forked fingering, which would make it even harder. Other than that, no
