c# to b

Author: theRemedy

I'm playing an arrangement of Prelude and Fuge Bb Major by J.S. Bach. Through out the prelude there are 8th note (in cut time) slurs and there are areas where i am having trouble with the fingering. A lot of times i end up putting the wrong fingers down and miss the key. i was hoping to find easier fingerings for the switch. the trouble areas are mostly c# and i THINK that is one of teh only notes with only one way to finger it so i'm hoping there are other ways to finger the other notes. The switches i could use help on are c# to b to c# again. and then there is d to c# to d. any help that could be provided is greatly appreciated.

The greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Below the staff;

I use the C# on my left.

You can hold down the B on your right and trill readily.

Should be easy enough to reach D, as well.

If above the staff;

I use first finger LH and the RH sliver key for quick passages to include a C# incidental. It's not perfect, but you'll be moving quickly through...
