Need fingering advice for a piece

on: August 17, 2004, 02:20:51 AM

Hi, I'm new here with a small question. There's this piece I need to play and though the piece is not hard for me in and of itself, there is a part of it where I always get awkward in terms of fingering. Can someone take a look at the excerpt I posted and suggest a fingering, especially for the left hand? Thanks in advance.

Here's the link to the part I have trouble on:

It's less awkward if you take some of the left arpeggios with the R.H. thumb - m. 19 beat 4 (E#), m. 20 beat 4 (C), and m. 21 beats 2 and 4. For m. 22, L.H. 5312 [RH] 1 [LH] 212 53 etc. M. 24, pickups to beat 3 could be 145.
