A question on Soler. Sonata #84
on: December 10, 2016, 09:49:26 AM
Hi! In the past copule of weeks I'm working on the famous and rather nasty Sonata in D Major by Padre Soler.
I'm not completely sure of the fingering I chose for the "post crux" section (some unorthodox thumbs on black keys and so on), but helps the phrasing IMHO. My teacher suggested a possible fingering without changing the finger in the couple of repeated notes (e.g.: 23342 122331 in bars 73-74) and 321321 in the longer ribattutos, but I find it too tiring at the tempo I'm trying to achieve (at least eight note = 210). Can you help me?


Another question regarding the "turn" at the beginning of the Sonata: a lot of editions have it written  in a triplet, but my edition (Konemann) has it marked as three regular 16ths. What does your copy say?
