Question about Chopin Etude Op. 10, No 3 LOL
on: January 11, 2007, 09:59:01 PM
Howdy i just have  question about the chromatic fourth progression starting in bar 38. Would any of you NOT decend the left hand in bar 38 with a   1-4   2-5 fingering? I find that particulary the easiest way to do things.
Mainly wondering if its a big deal to land on the first note(In the left hand) of bar 39 with a twisting 2-5 fingering or would it be ok to land on that chord with a much easier 3-1 fingering. I guess we must keep in mind the legato. Pop some feed back about these decending chromatic fourths in bars 38-41. Much appreciated!!!
