Scale Fingering
on: November 23, 2013, 03:10:43 AM
For a while now, I have been hearing about how it is better to finger all scales with the C major scale fingering, instead of playing scales with several different fingerings.  I believe I read that Frederic Chopin was one person to suggest the idea.  It sounds like it would make playing easier in the long run and that it might help with transposing a piece instantly(something I think every musician should be able to do).  Has anyone here tried this, and could you tell me if you have ever heard a famous pianist who played this way?

Thank you for your time.
