Hey - you're German, aren't you?

The regular f-major scale is: f-g-a-b-c-d-e-f; the fingerings for the right hand are 1-2-3-4-1-2-3 (-1), left hand: 5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1 (-4)

The harmonic and melodic fingerings are slightly different.

You might do a check on Hanon's 'The virtuos pianist/Der virtuose Pianist" for further studies. Good luck!

Hi twebbas,

One modifcation to Diablos' reply:  the b is actually b flat.

RachFan:
Hey buddy, ya gotta learn German. B is by definition B flat. B natural is H. But you probably knew that. That's how you get B A C H on a keyboard.

"Skala" is also Polish.

What's up here?

Hi Ned,

Well, to be honest I studied Latin, French and Spanish, but never German.  I stand corrected on H.

Hey guys - I'm sorry for that little mistake; I'm sometimes forgetting about the b  ;D

But thanks for correcting.
