      yes standard fingering but I’m not going directly from D to E.
      more like a passing tone; finger the note in between and it’ll sound smoother.so you’d finger the D# while playing from D to E.

      it’s this movement that allows you to not get a hard transition as you called it.

        So D to F# then down to the E. The slide from D to F# is what I am talking about.

          I think I did it. I played the D, then slowly lifted my fingers to E and the slowly the F#, but did it like reverse drumming or even rolling of my fingers (so as to get s smooth even transition and that produced a slide effect. Is that how you do it?

            yes and scoop the first note of each group: F, F#, G, G# and even the last note A.

              WRT those notes, that come immediately after the “slide”, I think there are five of them within what seems to be a mordant. I can’t seem to get the sound just right. Can you tell me what notes you are playing and the technique involved. Once I can get that I think I have most of the song down. Also, what is the highest Altisimo you are playing.
