I don't now the bar or page exactly, but after a while you have in the left hand A# B B² B B² B B² A# B .... with the melody in the right hand.
What fingers do you use for this. This repeats a lot but with other notes.
Any of you played this ballade and has some advice for me?
Thanks a lot

I use 4-3-1-3-1-3. If you have smaller hands you might have no choice but use 5-4-1-4-1-4.

i use 541414...

but another question.. chopin wrote "senza pedal" when the part begins.. but i don't think  i have ever heard a pianist who plays this part without pedal.  what do you think. should one use the pedal?

i am playing this piece at the moment and i can't decide what sounds better Wink

I performed this a few years ago, and I had a hell of a time with this passage because my fingers are so short. I wound up using 541414. I had to be careful not to stretch my hands too much but move my hand fast horizontally. This is what we pianists with small hands have to deal with   Cry Cry

Hi guys, I have another question. I have difficults to play the notes correctly in bar 26, and the same thing that repeats wen in starts on a G.
8 times out of 10 I miss a note there. Have you a good way to learn this?

Thx for the comments already, I think 4313131 works pretty well for me.
