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?
