Re: Coq D'or fingerings

I'm assuming you mean the F# (Gb) at the beginning of the next to last group of 32nd notes and the E-flat at the end of the group before it, and that you're using an A clarinet part, not a transposition? (The two parts I have use F#s - no G-flats anywhere in the passage - unless I'm looking in the wrong place). I wouldn't think sliding up from RH 1st side key to the chromatic F# above it would ever be smooth. If you want to play the G-flat with the side chromatic fingering, you can play the E-flat that precedes it with the left sliver key or with 1 & 1 instead of the bottom right hand side key. Which among those or flipping between 1st finger F# and thumb F is easier is your choice.
