Thirds Tremolo Fingering Chart for Oboe

Second Octave: C#5 to C6

This fingering chart includes tremolo fingerings, which are fingerings designed for rapid
alternation between two notes. This particular chart covers tremolos in which the two notes are
spaced at intervals of minor thirds (3 semitones) and major thirds (4 semitones) apart. Many
of these fingerings can also be used as alternate fingerings for some fast passages. Keys to be
trilled are indicated in red. When more than one key is to be trilled, the keys should be
simultaneously pressed and simultaneously released, unless the description says to alternate
pressing and releasing the keys. These fingerings are the same on oboes and English horns
unless specified otherwise.
