Papillons Fingerings
on: January 09, 2022, 08:17:02 AM
Does anyone know what the most comfortable fingering for the octaves in No. 3 of Papillons is? Any help would be much appreciated.

Generally in octave passages I personally like to have 1-5 for octaves on white keys and 1-4 for that ones on black keys. But this really depends on how big your hand is, so I do not know, if this solution is best for you too... hope this helps at least a little bit. :-)

In #3, octaves are played non legato and almost entirely in crotchets (at 120bpm for crotchet). You can play them all 1-5 or use 1-4 for black keys (as already suggested by another member). In bars 3 and 7 you have quavers in left. Bar 3 in left: 1-5 1-5 1-4 1-5.
