Scarlatti - Sonata in D minor fingering.
on: July 10, 2022, 09:42:32 AM
I've recently started learning Sonata in D minor (K 141), my sheet music says that I should play 4-3-2-1-2-1. But when watching other performances, they all use 3-2-1-3-2-1. Should I stick 4-3-2-1-2-1 or learn 3-2-1-3-2-1?

I prefer 3-2-1-3-2-1, but try out both and see what works best for you!

Same here.

I suppose 3-2-1 is easier for most people
