arpeggio inversion fingering

[redhead]

How do you recommend fingering a D major RH arpeggio?

For root : I'd do: 123-123-123 for DF#A over and over.

What about 1st inversion?  If I block the chord (F#AD), i'd use 235.  However, playing the arpeggio this way feels strange.  I could revert back to (23-1)(23-1) so F# on 2, A on 3, D on 1 just like root position.  But this is really indistinguishable from the root position.   Or do you play F# on 1, A on 2, D on 3 and just live with the wrist out of alignment?

For 2nd inversion, 124 on ADF# works fine.

I'd play the first inversion beginning with 2 on the F# and from then on use 1 2 4.

Regardless of which inversion, I would (if possible in the context of the piece, of course), ever play 4th finger on F#, 1st finger on A and 2nd finger on D.

This is the most comfortable fingering. Always finger in a way so that the thumb comes after a black key (when playing upward, of course). Applies in a similar way to scales.
