Prokofiev's Toccata - fingering
on: May 03, 2010, 07:37:18 AM
Im really looking for advice in playing this piece.
Whats your fingering number at the climax of this song? The one with melody at the top and major third as its accompaniment.

It's so endearing when they calll the Prokofiev toccata a "song". I'd like to see someone try to sing it.
Anyway, there's little choice here. However you can grab it, take it!
5 5 5 45 5 5 5 5
32 22 32 22 32 32 32 23 etc.

I'm sure at least one witty remark could be made about the singability of this bit of prokofiev, or of any of his other "songs." strangely, much as I generally dislike most of this type of music, I find the tocatta to be oddly haunting, and I even (gasp) will admit to enjoying to listen to a good rendition of it, if I'm in the right mood.
but really, is it that irksome to people that the word "song" is used incorrectly? this seems to come up with some regularity, and perhaps I'm being naive, but it just seems like a minor issue at best. I try to speak with great precision, and pride myself on my diction, but colloquialisms such as this are really not bothersome to me, especially in the informal setting of an internet forum. even in the relatively formal setting of the operating room I often ask for a "knife," a "skeeter," "my scissors," and a "pickups," as opposed to a 15-blade, mosquito hemostat, Cooley scissors, or Debakey forceps.
and my ipod keeps telling me how many thousand songs I have, but doesn't give me any indication as to how many of them are pieces but not songs. strangely nobody at apple thinks this is a serious issue
