La Campanella trills

on: October 05, 2016, 12:01:01 AM

I was wondering what fingering/hands to use for the 3 dotted quarter note trills after the cadenza. I know that Kissing alternates hands just I don't know how to get back to one hand.
-Thanks

I do the two handed thing too, and then I replace it with 2-4, and 2-5, then 3-5 just to warm my right hand up so it's not that epic of a transition from not trilling on one hand to the 4-5 (one of the harder) trills. On an added note, please do not float your right thumb over the lower D# in the subsequent section unless your hands are enormous.

Hope this helps.
