Swan lake fingering

on: February 01, 2011, 10:55:59 PM

Hi..
I'm trying to play this piece and was wondering what fingering goes best for the first 3 or 4 measures. What is played by right or left hand? Can anyone please help? Here is the link to the sheetmusic I use:

Thanks!

Divide the first measure between two hands. after that, play the accompaniment with the LH, the melody with the right.

I'd say, just play it as it is written. The fingering in the score seems to indicate, that whatever is in the G-clef is played by the right hand and whatever is written in the F-clef is palyed with the left.

Yes, but you've got 2 against 3 in the same hand which is tricky.
