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

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....
