For all the times I've played it, starting in college, I don't think I ever got totally comfortable with Festive Overture in one particular place. One of the twisty-fingered passages goes around the fingering 2, 1, 2, 23, 2, 1, 2 or with alternates: 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
I take a bit of comfort in the fact that a 'Pro' has trouble with Festive Overture too. I don't think I'll ever get it right. Even with some alternate fingerings that you and Neal Corwell outlined some time ago, I still have trouble with that one.
