HELP me with this part

Hello... i've got a question about this part. I'm not sure what fingers i have to use to make it sound louder:

I've been using 1-2-3-5-1-2-3-5-1-2-3, but i'm not sure if this is correct...

Also i'm not sure what fingers to use in this part:



Thank you in advance ;)

In the first clip, I would play 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

If you play the left hand loud, the right doesn't have to be that loud too. It's more the note, where the arpeggio leads to (which isn't on the clip)

In the second clip I would play 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
the last two notes depends on what comes afterwards, perhaps
you can play Cb with 5 and D with 4  ::)
If it doesn't work - try something different!

It's from Prokofiev 2 cadenza, just before the "colossale fff" part...

Oh, and I thought, it  propably could be Brahms  :D

The last 3 notes (Cb D F#) in clip2 of course with 1 2 4
