Good afternoon!
I really appreciate this forum, it seems that lots of proficient pianists usually post here. I've got a question. Could you tell me the correct fingerings for these measures: picture 1 - the second measure; picture 2 - the whole measure?  I tried to mark the fingerings on my own, but unfortunately I'm not confident of its correctness from the point of view of technique: I'm going to play this exercise daily, so it would be perfect If you helped me out. Thank you in advance!

I'd like to help, but I'm only a 6 month player (from a 7 year pause with only approx. 8 months of experience before that) :T

But now I'm curious, what piece is that? Looks fun to play! And not too hard for a beginner like me. thanks ^^. Risky, but for me it looks like an etude.

And welcome to piano street!

I think it is one of the early exercises from Brahms 51 exercises. Available on IMSLP.

Yes. You're right. It is said that first 10 exercises increase dramatically the self-sufficiency of each hand . So, do you have any great fingerings solutions for the passages I've uploaded?

Why not use the scale/arpeggio fingerings as reference for pieces like this. You can find them free here:

If the fingerings feel comfortable for you, you can stick with them. They look Ok to me.
The bigger probem in these passages is the 3 vs 4. Do you know how to play that?

Yeah, thanks a lot, but I was searching for real fingerings options for those particular measures. Of course, I know fingerings for arpeggios and scales.
