I just happen to be learning that rach prelude in your 1st example and I was agonizing on the fingering for that exact part, the sweeping left hand phrases. I was debating between 5421 and 5415, so moving the hand position on the 5th note (avoids using weaker pinky) vs the 4th note (using the pinky . But I think your fingering makes more sense. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! I am still planning on that; just got sidetracked by a bunch of other topics. Planning on finishing that series this summer. ☺️
Brilliant compilation! So many good tips and ideas for me to consider in the future! Oddly, I was using thumb and middle finger on the Clara Nutturno trill (and to set up a turn at the end with the index finger, I am not sure if that is proper in its period but it sounds nice), and I thought I was being naughty not using adjacent fingers! Now this miss-a-finger strategy will be in my head in future as a kosher technique.
Excellent help with fingering. It’s SO IMPORTANT, but often overlooked by some teachers and students. I agonise over selecting the ideal fingering. It’s very important to me. All your points are very relevant! Often, there may be two choices and this is where I often get stumped!
Yes, it can be hard to make a choice! It's hard to talk about fingering because there aren't hard-and-fast rules - but following principles will get you a ways there. Re: dilemmas, I suggest picking one fingering and living with it for a while, and if it is causing problems, switch over to the other one. Good luck! 🎹😊
Prof Boyd, could please make a video on your alternative chromatic fingerings? Slow motion, both up and down the keyboard, please? That’s a very interesting point you made, but when I tried it, I slipped up at one point or another, either it’s going up fine, then i cant go down, or it’s going up at at one point I cant tuck the thumb under etc.
Can you please write out the fingering because once you hit the second octave with that fingering you hit an F with your fourth finger. how are you supposed to smoothly get to F sharp. Can you write the fingering for four octaves so I get a better sense? Thx do much
