[TPIN] Auxiliary / Backward fingering (WAS: 20 Greatest...)

[gregory curry]

Agreed.Working through Colin (or other) flexibilities you'll get the idea.
Of course, he may be talking about the fun stuff of fingering passages while
holding the horn upside down and pushing the valves with the back of the
fingers instead of the pads....
And it is interesting brain-work to play passages backward, ie, from bottom
to top and right to left.
For those who don't have enough already to practice!
