Petracci?

Also, your point about the infrequency of those high notes is dead on. HOwever, it seems like when you get that one shot to enter on a higher pitch, you've go to be able to nail it every time. Right now, I'm working on Prokofiev's first symphony - when the basses get the melody in the middle of the first movement, the line starts (ff) with a high b then down an octave before you get to use a harmonic for the high a - I'd love to be able to nail notes like that every time, on the first try.
