fingering advice please

[goalevan]

The fingering seems a little crazy on this version (from sheetmusicarchive). I would just like to know how you all would finger the right hand in these two phrases. Thanks

I agree, this is not the fingering I would use.

Try this (but there are other variants):

first passage (starting on the upper D):

432143213123542323

Second passage (starting on the upper D):

43213141231235423

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

the first fingering works great for me, I'm about to try the second one now, it looks good from fooling around with it though, thanks for the help

You are welcome.

Never have any qualms to replace printed fingering with another one that may be more suited to you. In fact, I would suggest that you treated the fingering I posted as just one out of many possibilities.

Carefully weighing diferent fingering possibilities has many benefits in helping you learn better a piece. You realy must investigate the movement required for a passage in order to come up with the best fingering, and this investigation is in itself very valuable.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Hi everyone,

having nothing else to contribute... would it increase legibility to group the numbers when you give fingering, using brackets or hyphens?

So you have (4321)(4321)(3123)(542)(323)?

I find it hard to read, let alone remember a 18-digit no., subdivided it seems trivial.
