Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner need help with fingering Prokofiev Etude 2 no 1 please

On the second page, there are two instances of ascending thirds in rapid staccatos. what fingerings do you suggest for those. Thank you very much in advance.

My first post here was about a similar issue: http://www.pianoworld.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1700872/Fingering_question_chromatic_t.html

Thanks for the link. This one is not chromatic thirds. Chromatic thirds I can do (ie, chopin 25 6) but I havent come across the thirds that just go up in scale. Hope that makes sense lol.

My mistake. The first one is pretty straightforward:

1-2, 1-3, 2-4, 3-5, repeat, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4.

Second one:

2-3, 1-4, 2-3, 1-4, 1-3, 2-4, 2-3, 1-4, 2-3, 1-4, 2-5.

Thanks for the fingerings! I tried them and they seem to work Ok. Better than what I initially came up with.

Hello, sorry to resurrect this thread. I'm just finishing up this piece and ran into another fingering problem. specifically on the last page. it is the two bars with the ossias (i think that's what it's called). I want to know the fingerings for the original (not the alternative written above it) for the LH. I currently use 4-2, 1, 4-2, 1, 4-2, 1, etc. Would like to know your opinion on this.

Thank you!
