Chaminade - Concertino

6th measure of the Presto, original passage (not the ossia)

G3   

F#3

Alternatively, this passage could be played with harmonics of the octave (G1, F#1, E1 and D1).

This passage can be played in 2 different ways: 1. as harmonics of fifths with an alternative fingering for A3, 2. as harmonics of the octave

Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker

Play the run with harmonics of the octave, excluding the Bb3. The Bb3 can be played as a harmonic as well, but since it's pretty exposed I advise not to do so.

Bb2  

C3  

D3

Eb3

F3  

G3

A3  

Bb3 


Ravel - Mother Goose

Please note that the first line of the system is played the first flute and the second line by the piccolo.

Starting at 9 measures after #7 use harmonics of the fifths for G#3 and F#3 (C# and B).

G#3  

F#3  

A#3 

To facilitate the passage in the second octave starting at #7, leave down the F# (the Right Hand 4th finger, or ring finger) for A#2, G#2 and C#2. That works for the piccolo part as well.
