Fingering- Beethoven Sonata op 10 no 1
on: August 30, 2013, 06:51:40 PM
On bars 67-68 of the third movement of Beethoven's sonata no 5 in C minor, Op 10 no 1, Finale: Prestissimo, there's a chromatic run in a quintuplet rhythm that changes to sixteenth notes in the right hand. When I play the piece up to tempo I can't get that part clean. I think I might need a better fingering. What would be a good fingering for that run in the RH?

I think the best way is using (Starting from the quintuplets, ending in b natural at the end of the next bar.) - 1, 2, 3, 1, 3 (Though you can use 2), 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3 (Though you can use 2), 1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, that helps a lot. Before, I was playing 1, 3, 1, 3 instead of 1, 2, 1, 3 on G, Ab, A, B( last note of first bar then first 3 notes on second bar). Now it sounds a lot smoother and my fingers don't trip up as much :)
