Thanks Chris, that seems the biggest trip-up right there, the Basic Left Ab' 16ths to LEb switchover, just can't get left pinky co-ordinated to slide on/off those two keys fast enough, still challenged with that combo just to do Hi E
... at the moment i've been experimenting with 2 possibilities
1. Basic up to mid Bb, then switching to Rt Ab' cued along with the left thumb 8ve key
2. forked Bb using Rt Ab instead, which does free up slow left pinky sooner
either way i choose to go it's going to take a lot of reps to pattern it for the tempo
RAb seems to help lift Rt index faster from Gb cap, and since the finger's already curved over that key it's easier to rock back off the Right Ab' to Gb' again, followed by easy forked F etc
This frees up slower left pinky to do LEb, Rt Db can be played with LEb still down, lift both pinkies together to secure the D natural, then trill Eb with faster right pinky
But it probably would be better technique practice to work at patterning the left pinky slide from Ab to Eb as it would also help playing Hi E too, eh?
Well in theory and in slow mo either seem relatively comfortable, but once i try speeding up, neither work at all ... ha ha!
... yes, oboe can do open Db, but since it's sandwiched between all fingers down for LEb and then a forked F, seems less work just to do basic Rt Db
