Prokofiev - 7th sonata fingerings

[franz_]

What fingers do you use in the left hand in bars 10-11  and expecially in bars 17-18 ?
Thx in advance

I'd use (starting on the D) 2 1 4 2 5 (4 3) 1 5 2 ... the fingers between () can be replaced by 3 2 depending on your hand. For the later part i'd use exactly same fingering and would jump to get the higher third with 1-3. Using that fingering, consider that each gesture begins with each strong beat. If you try playing it with one gesture per figuration or w/e I don't know, it simply won't work well. Hope that helps.

I do the exact same fingering, with the exception of the first D. On that note, I use 5, as I'm concerned with preserving the legato from the Bb of the previous bar.

This is a tough, yet rewarding (and powerful) work. Best of luck.
