Fingers for this piece?

[ranniks]

The right hand....Do I play the notes on the G cleff with only my right hand or try with left hand when convenient? So everything in the top bar with right hand and the basss line with left hand (as normal with piano) seems to be working, but it is a bit tiring to play to the first repeat (the first bar until it says repeat the bar), is that normal for a beginner?

Probably not since I set it to everyone, but can you see it now:



I hope so!

Use whatever is convenient. The task is to bring out 3 layers of sound: the main melody, a bass line and an accompaniment, spread over two hands in a convenient way. The notation is only to make reading easier, not a mandatory instruction for fingering.
P.S.: In the right hand melody, it is important to follow the phrasing. I think you are trying to tie things that should not be tied. That's why you feel tired. "Breathe" the prases. The notes of the accompaniment are to be played technically non-legato (you get legato with the pedal) which also makes it technically a bit easier and musically more interesting.

What is an accompaniment? The part with the '3' above it (the d note)?

Also, thanks for the advise, it helped today!

The accompaniament is the triplet figures in the middle. The main melody is the line at the top, and the bass line is the (mostly) single notes at the bottom.
