Need help on RH fingerings
on: August 06, 2016, 04:35:22 AM
I'm working on a difficult piano piece and I'm stumped on whether my RH fingering for the passage is sufficient or not.  I've attached a screenshot of an excerpt of the sheet music at the location that I'm stuck at.  The name of the piece is Lunatic Eyes - Invisible Full Moon by ZUN (arranged by Aojiru).  Aojiru arranges some really fun, yet technically demanding pieces and I love to play these pieces, yet I'd rather not let a silly segment ruin such an majestic piece like this.

2132 4132 5132 4132
or
2132 5132 5132 5132

I like the first one because it does not require shifting the 5th finger between black and white keys, thus more economy of movement. 

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I agree with quantum. First one is definitely much better. Or you can try 2131 4132 5131 4132 if it better suits you to shift the thumb first. I feel like I'm dialing a telephone number... so happy practicing.
