Hi,

I would use the following fingering:

Right hand: (1=thumb, 5=pinky) 1-3-5-1-2-5-1-3-5-1-3-5|5-3-1-5-3-1-5-2-1-5-3-1

Left hand: (1=thumb, 5=pinky)  5-3-1-5-3-1-5-2-1-5-3-1|1-3-5-1-2-5-1-3-5-1-3-5

Enjoy.
Btw on the sheet music, 12/8 time means 4 beats per measure, with each beat split into three eighth notes. So each note of the arpeggio, assuming 12 notes per measure, should be an eighth note instead of a quarter note. (Maybe someone was just jotting it down quickly; I just thought I'd mention it)

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
