Broken chord fingerings

[superpax]

Dear forum members, pianists and teachers, I kindly ask your support.
I tried to search the information I was looking for in the forum, but I couldn't find it.
I'm doing exercises on four note broken chords, but in Internet I find people suggesting differing fingerings.
I'm trying on major and minor most known chords.
For right hand mostly is suggested: 1 2 3 5 + 1 2 4 5 + 1 2 3 5 + 1 2 3 5 but someone suggests 1 2 3 5 + 1 2 4 5 + 1 2 4 5 + 1 2 3 5.
About left hand I found: 5 3 2 1 + 5 4 2 1 + 5 3 2 1 + 5 3 2 1 but also 5 4 2 1 + 5 4 2 1 + 5 3 2 1 + 5 4 2 1.
Can you kindly tell me which ones are the correct fingerings?
I thank all of you who will reply and I hope we will get out through the Codiv-19 as soon as possible, in order to play music wherever and however we will want to.
Thanks so much for your support.

Hi and welcome to Pianostreet.

The correct fingering is the one that fits your hand better.  Hands come in many shapes and sizes and some fingerings are better suited to a persons hand than others.  You need to try them out for yourself to see which is better for you.  A fingering that may work for one person may not be the ideal for another person. 

Also, preferences to fingerings may change over time as your technique develops.  You may find that an uncomfortable fingering today, may be a good fit a few years down the road when your playing apparatus has had more time to develop.

Hi,
I play piano for two years now, and must agree with what 'quantum' wrote.

My fingers are quite thick especially 3 and 4 on both hands and I had to find most comfortable way to find those chords to be played (can't fit them between black keys sometimes). But at first I followed given fingering then if necessary I changed it. Funny thing is that after some time playing and being more familiar with chords the given fingering wasn't that bad for me. I've learned to move more my hands up and down the keys and it worked in most cases.

Tip1: sometimes when we learn something new it feels so uncomfortable because we don't have that skill yet, but after some practice it becomes so easy and actually right way to do as given and comfortable as well. So, keep practising. More you will play more ideas you will have how to actually put everything together.

Tip2: look on YT for pianists who have similar hands to you and just watch how they play. (a bit of research) I find it quite helpful and gives me some ideas how to play those difficult notes, how to move around keyboard etc.

Keep going
