arpeggio inversion fingering
on: September 07, 2004, 08:10:09 AM
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.
thanks

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.
Best Wishes,
Monk
