Hmm…interesting. I’m not really sure how pianists approach the sync issue, but that does sound like a good analogy. The closest thing I can think of on the violin is the difficulty synchronizing bow arm movements with finger movements in fast passages. But I’m not sure if the solution here translates to the bassoon at all (one thing that can help is to simultaneously finger the passage in both the left and right hands, which often helps to get the two hands working together a bit better).
If there isn’t anything obvious you can tell from the video (like one finger moving more than it has to, tension, etc.), I wonder if there are etudes that address this sort of thing? Or even etudes you could create for yourself that would help you practice this?
I’m also curious – are there other passages where you don’t have this sync issue, where for one reason or another it just works fine? Might be interesting to compare the two and see why one works, and why one is more inconsistent?
