This is my sloppy attempt at this very difficult etude, I added a few high notes to spice it up a little, high G (sol) in two spots and a high C (Do), (above G clef), at the end. I am using an overblown high C fingering with the high D key and it works well for the extra high C. Best regards and respect to father and son Robert Rønnes and Kristian Oma Rønnes. The original cleaner version can be heard at the composers page here:

@TheIBassoon hello, thanks for the comment. My thumbs are not as busy as you think, I only flick when I need to, I do not use the thumb keys as octave keys, I only vent on French bassoon. I will try for a better finger view next time though, thanks for the suggestion, cheers! - Steve
