you're so nice. thank you thank you. now, all i have to do is write this all in french somewhere's on a translation site. wait - this is translated, too. you are too kind!
cortot takes into account that the two sixteenths on the first of each beat don't have to be held. so, his fingering doesn't bother with the finger slides. i suppose that if you want it really smooth - cortot's are the best? the finger slides help with other things - but not this?
he always seems to let the middle of the hand be the guide.
as i see it - the fingering isn't that hard once you realize that only the third or fourth finger of the rh is going to be taking the black notes. everything else sort of falls into place.
