Need a little fingering help

[jkristiand]

I am practicing Liszts Dante Sonata, and Im in doubt about how to play this section.
I have put a suggestion in it on how I would play the first section. Since im amature I would like you pros to give me a hint on how you think it should be played..


thanks

i've not played the dante, and some books have fingerings already in them.  But, i'll take a stab.  with your lh fingering i would make it 54321,321.  also, on the 'piano' c# you probably want a less strong finger than 1 (how about a very gentle, massaging 34 combo in lh. and 23 in rh)

OK, I think I will stick to my own fingering, I have already incorporated it into context, but the second passage in my attachment above I still have doubts about how to do..

[pianonut]

you could also try in the rh 1234, 1234 and the lh 4321, 4321

i tried it several times both ways and i can personally play it faster with using this fingering.

Have a try of:

RH: 12 12345 1
LH: 54 53212 5 or (54321) 5 whatever to you seem's better. I prefer the first.
To me it seems you can get most control out of the cresendo with this.

hmm. interesting!  will try it myself.

Greetings Jkristiand

I don't like the lh fingering in the first passage at all. I would try 4321 4321 5

For the second passage try - rh  4321 4321 4
                                     -  lh 1231 1231 4

I try to avoid using 5 during a scale or other run passage if I can and use it as the fingering for the last note. You'll notice that the rh and lh 1 and 4 fingers are played in close proximity to each other in the second passage and I found that it helps me keep it smooth and with the proper timing (offset).

Hope that helps,

Cheers

Thank you all for suggestions.. I will play around with them a little and see what I find most comfortable
