What fingering do you use in bar 7 for the left hand(keep in mind I have a small hand)? Thank you

I use the following fingering for Bar 7

5 2 1 3   2 3  4 1    2 3 1 2   3 2 1 2 | 5  which is the same as for the previous six bars.

I try and do 'more or less' the same fingering all the way through.  This is a very difficult piece; less so if you don’t try and play too legato and, if you have small hands you will be used to having to jump a bit, which is good in this piece. Good luck with it.   :)
