I don't know but I'd rather you play it with your right hand.

just looked at my piano, to keep the lh flow, I would use LH thumb below the RH.notes-overlapping./...I hope this helps..

Do you mean, Play the F# with th RH (repeating F# twice in the treble clef) and then play the D with LH5 ?

You would play the F# with thumb of LH.  I would cross the LH over the right.  Play it the way it was written; it shouldn't cause any trouble.

Youre right.. i tried it and it feels a bit strange but ill get use to it soon..  The reason he write it like that is because the same scale-run appeared earlier in the piace and the RH already know the exact run.

Thanks for sheding light on it.. it really made my day, now i can finish the piece in a couple of days!
