i have not worked these with a teacher - but i figured out my own fingering (which works for me - as i have an octave and one note reach). what i do is play the first two left hand notes of each measure with lh 41 or 51 - then i play the rh 2. 51 on the G and CE together - then lh crosses over and plays 21, 3, 51. i repeat this for each measure. so the second measure would have the same fingering - just different notes. seems to work for me.
