Re: Fantasy fingering

HAHAHA! I was expecting this thread to be about special fingerings that we'd like to use for certain notes, or one fingering that makes a variety of notes.

So 'double-declutching' is acceptable! I've often done this and looked around to see if anyone noticed me switching fingers on a held note.

Nice to know I'm in good company! Now I'll do this without feeling guilty - for me the xxo|xxo G# fingering has to be worked hard at to make it match in tone quality to the other notes around it, so I do avoid it unless it's a fast or unstressed note.
