Ronda Alla Turca fingering question
on: April 12, 2006, 05:48:46 AM
Specifically, the left hand pattern from measure 21-26, and also the right hand 16th note runs in measures 36-44.  What are the conventional fingerings for these, and what do YOU use?  All help is greatly appreciated.

Anybody?  Come on, I know at least some you have played this piece? ;)

Bu seriosuly, the left had switches from paying quarter notes of A CE CE CE to F AD# AD# AD#.  Right now I'm trying it as 5 31 31 31 for both parts but the switch from 5 playing A to 5 play F, 3 playing C to 3 playing A, and 1 playing E to 1 playing D# feel awkward, (especially the thumb one.)  Thanks.

Greetings.

There really is no trick fingering and nothing should be uncomfortable, albeit everyone's fingering is different. Search for the right feel. Hope this helps.
