Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4 - Fingering question
on: January 04, 2013, 03:22:32 AM
Hello,

I'm learning Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4 - Prelude for a presentation that I'm having later this month, but I got a problem with the fingering in the 8th bar. I can't manage to do it in tempo.

I'd be pleased with suggestions.

Thanks.

123 4545 might work as well, this way you can leave the B with the thumb a little bit longer, and if your hand is big enough you can even leave it until the last D.

4545 has a jump to contend with though making it a more difficult option imo.

123 4145 suited me the best, though 4545 worked as well. Thank you very much! :)

Sorry to bother again, I think it will be the last time now, but this section is also a problem to me. Could you suggest a fingering to it?
