Subj: Re: [kl] Finzi fingering

It happens I just played the Five Bagatelles on Sunday, and that section drove
me insane! I asked my teacher if there were any easier alternate fingerings for
that passage, and he said there were not, and I just needed to woodshed a lot.
I spent a few minutes on it during each practice session, working with a
metronome and slowly increasing the tempo, and eventually got it up to speed.

Good luck!
