| Fifth finger on bottom E , to thumb on the higher E and then your third finger over to the G# - smoothly, not a 'jump'! Practise it going up and then down continuously to get it smooth as you can so it feels completely natural, and as you play the bottom E get your hand spread out so the thumb is nice and handy (har har) for the top E. |

| Use the pedal hehe...then you can sort of jump the notes without making it sound so obvious. |
