Flight of the bumble bee

Hi!
What are you exactly asking for? The fingering in the very beginning or all the piece? Are you talking about the Rachmaninoff transcription?........

starting on a D...........4321254343212..... there's the first 13 notes........using this 'finger shape' you can begin to build a smooth execution of the first part of the tune......second finger goes over the thumb (finger number 1)

Well, I'm also working on "Bumblee Bee", so I was quite excitied to find this fingering. However, when I tried it, I noticed that you have your thumbs on the black keys. That's not really a good idea when you are moving so fast, so here is the fingering that I've been using, and it works quite well!!!!

43134313432131321 and you keep going from there. That's the first 17 notes, and you can repeat that, eliminating the 4 from the beginning.

Now, I have a question. In measures 4-7, what fingerings do you use there? I currently have it split between the hands, taking the first adn fith note with my LH, but I'm very open to other ideas

Oh, I'm talking about the Rachmaninoff transcription!

Love,

Sarah

I've used:
4323 4321 4321 4321 or 4321 4321 4321 4321
for the beginning. They both seem to work at least for me.

I know that song, there was someone last year in year 9 who could play it really well in my music class.

Quite a fast piece...

It reminds me of 10/2 for some reason
