Schubert die Forelle Accompaniment
on: November 24, 2021, 03:26:06 AM
Hi all,
i have never done much accompanying but have been asked to do so with the Db major version of die Forelle.
Looks easy enough until trying to play it!
I just can't seem to work out fingering to make it sound flowing and even as it should. Problems with both right and left hand awkward parts.
I can't find a fingered version and was hoping someone could point me to a version with suggested fingering.
Thanks in advance.

Bar 2 - 5 left hand fingering
3-1-4-3-2-1-2

Bars 7 - 10 - right hand fingering of broken chords
1-4-2-5-1-4-2
here the only difficulty will be the soft change between 5-1 (notes Ab-F)

Is that helpful?

Arda152's fingerings are good. You could also try 5-3-2-1-3-1-3 for bars 2-5 if your thumb is relaxed enough.

Thanks lelle and arda152

I have spent some time experimenting with suggested fingering.

For bars 2-5 I find the 5-3-2-1-3-1-3 most comfortable thanks lelle

Bars 7-10 suggested fingering works well but needs some practice and thumb fluidity on bars 9 and 10 black notes.
But I think I have it beaten now so again my thanks.
