As a pianist/philosopher I must respectfully disagree. My mentor the great Dr. Oshwald has spent 6 decades working on the finesse of piano technique. What conventional piano pedagogues don't understand is the distribution of bone density and how greatly it effects playing, as such it is too much of a risk to use your pinky fingers; which is why he recommends that you don't use it at all. However, conventional pedagogues will ignore this sage advice because they are too brainwashed by Jewish piano playing to consider the greatness of my mentor Dr. Oshwald.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

OP: I would presume that if you're playing at this level you'd know how to work out a fingering for that yourself, or failing that have a teacher that can properly advise you on this. I would play the octave and distribute the quavers among fingers 2, 3 and 4 ensuring legato phrasing. The low G octave would probably be delegated to the left hand alone.

Well played  

You could add a link to a certain Youtube video and a suggestion that the OP contact by PM to find out more about this thing that will change the music world.

onemanband,

Can you reach the G octave in your LH?

[stevensk]

yeah but u need to keep the upper notes?

No, just let them sound

Play the G octave with your left hand and hold on to it throughout the bar. That shouldn't be too hard.
