F3

This note sounds a little dodgy, but in passing this a nice alternate fingering to the standard palm high F and front F fingerings. Works well chromatically through G#3.

F#3

A nice alternate to front F. Easy transition between alternate G3 below.

G3

I usually use front F, but the alternate fingering facilitates some passages.

G#3

A3

In passing, I just play left hand 2 and 3 (A and G keys). Adding the pinky G# key raises the pitch and adds pop. You might like to add right hand 123 (F, E, and D keys) instead.

A#4

C4

Left hand 3 (G key) is optional here, but I find that it adds pop, and it often minimizes finger motion in lines.
