Re: Left F necessity?

Completely agree. For me it's not about the tone of the F (although that is important) but about fingering ability in different passages. There are situations where forked F is completely appropriate and other situations (like D-F-E's etc) where only left F will do. It's not really that hard to work out what F you will need for what passage. It may take a bit to think about and you may have to make a notation on each F as to how you will play it at first, but in the end it saves you headaches from not being able to play fast parts as smoothly as you would like (and it saves your fingers a lot of unnecessarily awkward sliding)
