debussy - The Sunken Cathedral
on: December 11, 2009, 11:12:20 PM
Does anyone have a fingering for the awkward left hand chord in Debussy - The Sunken Cathedral (the first chord in measure 56) ?

Cheers

Is that the part with the jump?

My mistake...I was talking about the left hand chord on the 1st beat of measure 58.

Do you mean the g# a c# d# g#?
It's not that awkward is it? I guess depending on your hand.  You don't have much of a choice for fingering - 54321 unless you try 45321.
In bar 58 you could take the top g# with the RH while holding the rest with the pedal but you get the same chord the next bar and the RH is busy with its own chord....
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.
