Another TO/TU Question

[berrt]

Is this bar (35) of the chopin waltz op 34/2 one of the rare occasions where TU playing is neccesary? My teacher asks me to do this. I, too, cant imagine how to play it without moving the thumb far under the palm.

(I dont know how to insert a picture here, perhaps some advice for that, too?)

The 6 quavers: e, a, b, c#, d, e are to be played legato, the no pedal-sign comes with the b.

I'm just looking at the score, but I can't find the section you descibe. Bar 35 looks completely different. Are you talking about the Valse Brillante?

It shouldn't really matter too much, but it would help to know what comes before and after the section you are interested in to devise a good fingering.

In the meantime, assuming that the section ascends from the first E to the last E, would it be possible to shift your hand when going from A to B? If the pedal is down, there won't be any noticeable gap. Then play the B with either the thumb or finger 2. But I really have to look at the score to make sure this is resasonable.

uups i mis-counted somehow (there are no bar numbers), its 65 (13th bar of the sostenuto-section).
Yep, its Valse Brillante á Madame d'Ivry, Op34 Nr 2.

Tx for your input

The score I have has a suggested fingering of 123451 for this section. This fingering already suggests that no TU is involved. There is no such thing as TU from finger 5 to the thumb. Just thinking about this hurts! This section is fast enough anyway for hand displacement to work just fine. That's my opinon
