E5. Corey, Gerald (Bernard Garfield) 1998. I call this the "Garfield High E" because Bernard Garfield showed it to me many years ago. It speaks perfectly in tune, and is a little more resistant to speak than the "old German fingering" (/ x x | x x x plus LH thumb c#).

E5. Corey, Gerald (13 Dec. 1998). This is a superb fingering for high E5 on the German -system bassoon. It proves extremely useful in passages in both the Henri Tomasi Concerto and the André Jolivet Concerto--for the Jolivet concerto ending of movement I, with a fast running passage to the high F5.
