Fingering for Chopin Nocturne Op. 55 No. 1 (piu mosso section)

on: August 30, 2015, 07:36:59 PM

What fingers would you recommend for the 52nd and 54th measure? It's a little uncomfortable but fine to do those measures using fingers 3 2 1 2 5 2 3 5 4 3 (left hand, with the fingers playing F#, G, Ab, G, D, F, Eb, B, C, D for measure 54).. The right hand uses the opposite fingering as the left. Measures 48 and 50 are fine, but the other two feel kinda cramped. Help would be appreciated.

I PLAYED THIS PIECE! WOHOOO, FUN STUFF.

I have the rafael joseffy edition and he basically gave me (for left hand) 4 3 2 1 4 2 3 5 4 3

a little bit awkward at first but i warmed up to it, extremely comfortable fingering (OH LALA

) IMO

Don't worry, Chopincat isn't here, we don't have to worry about fingering jokes.
