Piano Street Magazine:
The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Help with left hand fingering positions.

on: February 28, 2011, 12:57:37 AM

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to move my left fingers with this pattern.
can anyone help me and teach me how to correctly transition here in each note with my left hand?

For both bars, I keep starting with 5 (pinky), 2 (index), 1 (thumb), crossover with 3 (middle),
and going back down the notes, would just be going in reverse.

which i don't think is right... :l

thanks.

Could you try 5 3 2 1 2 3 5 (for both bars)? That's what I would do... Doesn't require any crossovers, and seems comfortable when I try it.
