Re: Fingering in "The Nutcracker"

It's kinda awful, but I would use normal fingering for that. I hope you have a Left E-flat key and can easily slide to the low B key easily. People use many variants of fingerings for their 3rd octave, to accommodate for the instrument. I find the passage slow enough that I'd just use my normal fingerings. I wouldn't revert to trill/secondary fingerings at this speed. I would find the fact that there are so many huge leaps to be the toughest aspect (embouchure-wise).

My regular fingerings are:
midC# - Dxx|xxxC#
highC# - oxx|xooC
midD# - use reg or alt as needed
highE - low B - (3rdoct)Dxx(AbEb)|oxx --> slide pinky to standard low B
