How would you divide this up between the hands?

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

How would you divide this up between the hands?

on: June 05, 2012, 08:31:47 PM

Hello, I am currently working on Ravel's La Valse. I am currently at a point where I am struggling with these few bars. Tell me how you would handle this problem (dividing between the hands). Here is the hyperlink: https://javanese.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/6/6c/IMSLP06506-Ravel_-_La_Valse__Piano_.pdf
It is on Page 8, Lines 2-5 (after the key change when there are 3 staffs).

Thank you very much!

You mean the other instrument part , try for the first bar playing the third staff with your left hand ,then with your right hand in the 2nd bar,do the same for the entire first line.
For the 2nd line (clarinette part) you can use your right hand to play it all.
