Hi, What (Left Hand) fingering do you use for the first measure?

I don't do fingerin' lol, but I would use 5, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 then land on the A in the second measure with 5

Thanks! sorry for my poor English.

What about this one? (using both hands)

I would do 5 then jump up and play 5 on the 2nd note:
5-5-3-2-1-2-1-3

LH: 5-2-1-3-1 then RH: 1-3-2-1-2-3-1-3-1-2-3 then on the 16ths 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-5

How fast is the passage? I like Morodiene's fingering, but replacing the thumb so many times can become difficult at faster tempos.

Alt LH: 52121

Alt RH: 1 32 | 12 31 32 45 | 1235 1234 5

My hands are a little smaller, so the 1234 was a little much for the first four sixteenth notes. Not terribly so, but the 5 made it more comfortable for me.

If your hands are very large, you can try this:

Alt RH: 1 32 | 12 34 51 23 | 1234 12345


Also, since there is nothing playing in the LH, you can redistribute if you feel you need to:

2nd measure:
LH: 53 21 RH: 21 35

3rd measure:
LH: 5321 RH: 1234(5) or LH: 2 on the top E


So, you see, you have a lot of options. Hope one of them works best for you.

Thanks all!


Derulux, My hands are big. I can try every fingerings.
The passage should be played similar to this: http://www.mediafire.com/?0a836eogt48e8ea
Is playing it with one hand better?

What fingers do you use to play this left hand pattern?

5, then 5-2-1 on the chord, 5, then 5-2-1 on the chord.
