Subj: Poulenc Sonata!
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 04:40:31 -0400

After listening to all the stuff on Poulenc Sonata, I thought I would throw this
out. My teacher, after doing some research, said that there are some disputes
as to notes in the fourth bar of two(E nat vs. C nat) and the fourth bar of
three(A nat or C-sharp). Does anyone have an opinion about this. Also another
alternate fingering for the passage three after five would be:

R XXX/OOX E-flat to R XXX/XXX E-flat

no thumb for the E-flat to D-flat.
My teacher also suggested using an alternate fingering for the very soft
F-sharps in nine RTXXX/OOX and for the B naturals RTXOX/XXX. This gives a very
different quality to the sound and is a huge contrast to the mezo forte later,
where you would use standard fingerings. Hope you find this interesting.
