Notes on fingering and facilitation
The fingering has been carefully devised to facilitate a smooth legato and cantabile sound. As much care as possible must be made to ensure evenness when joining notes, so it is important to use 4 th and 5th fingers when playing octaves (eg. b.13 etc). Note the ‘r’ and ‘l’ indications from b.27. These indicate where right and left hands take the inner notes. It is best for left hand to take all the semiquavers on the 2nd beat of bars 27 & 28, so that right hand is free to make a smooth join of the melody. The right-hand fingering for bars 41 & 52 may seem awkward, but if the wrist is turned inwards towards the thumb, it allows this fingering to ensure a smooth legato. This applies also to the left hand part (3rd beat) in b.6 to ensure a smooth join to the first beat of b.7. Bars 67 & 69 are made more comfortable if left hand takes the final treble note, as well as the 2 nd beat D flat in bar 70, with right hand then taking over the note. It can be effective to make the following bars una corda : 27-28, 43-46, 66end, and for those with a sostenuto pedal, this can successfully be employed from bars 19-24. Raymond Banning
