Ravel Fingering

[ramseytheii]

For the last RH arpeggio in Jeux d'eau, while the LH plays octaves, what fingering is recommended?  5-4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-5 feels a bit awkward, but
3-2-1-4-3-2-1-3-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3 might have too many changes.  What do you think?

I would split it up in 3 figures:

3-2-1 , 4-3-2-1, 3-2-3, - and up again,

This is the most comfortable one for the hand (for me), wich will make it easier to play with control and speed.

I'd go with the 5432-1432 etc. fingering that you first suggest.

Best,
