Fingering on left hand Brahm's Raphsody in E flat major

on: May 24, 2010, 02:48:38 AM

How do I finger the left hand in the following passage? Sorry for being a noob using flickr

I just use 5321 5321 5321 but I've made fingering mistakes before and I can't bring them up to speed and its hard to change a habit. So I thought I try to get good fingering the first time around. Thanks everybody

I would use 1 each time the c flat arises, and either 3 or 4 for the e flats and 2 for the g flats. the initial low e flat is prob easiest with 5 or 4.

so...

521 421 421 421

or

421 321 321 321

it's a cflat maj arpeggio.
