Liebermann Gargoyles No. 1
on: May 18, 2008, 09:31:12 PM
I'm having trouble with the passage in measures 12 and 13.  I'm using the following fingering:

R:   5-4-3-2-1-2-1                      4-3-2-1-2-1
L:                           1-1-2-3-4-5                      2-4-1-2-3-4-1

Has anyone played this piece and come up with better, more effective, fingering?  The fingering above feels a bit akward to me.

Then find another solution and stop telling us about your dirty laundry. ;)

I don't understand why you found it necessary to contribute to this thread.   

Anyway, I can think of at least ten different ways to play this passage--all of them akward.  I was hoping someone who has played this would share their "tried and true" method, or assure me that this fingering is practical.
