 Premiere Rhapsodie fingering questions
Author: rollercoastermike

I have a few fingering questions. At one point, it goes C, G, Bb, E, Bb, F, Ab, D (all on the staff, the D is right below). The trouble spot is going from the Bb to the E and back to the Bb. I'm curious if there are any alternate fingerings, or if it's just solid practice that needs to be done! For thosewho know the piece, it's when there are 16th note 4ths and 5th going down.

Also, the last 2 measures, it goes Eb, E, G, then a grace note G to Eb (all above the staff). It seems like there are a ton of G fingerings. Could someone tell me a good one? Lastly, slurring the grace note G to Eb with whatever G fingering I'm using isn't working. Is there a G that's compatible with that?

It's an amazing piece, thanks for the help!

as for the high G at the end, I use -R T oxxlxxo D#-
This is the common C# fingering but adding the RH G#/C#. It is my normal high G and it serves me.
Another easy one is -R T Ab xoolooo D#- . It's like B plus the throat Ab and RH D#.

What does -R T mean?
And the 1 in oxx1xxo?

R is register. T is thumb. that is not '1' but 'l' as in 'lake'. oxxlxxo represents the upperjoint and lower joint. upper joint (UJ) is left- LJ is right.

yeah, l is just the divider between the upper and lower joints, or right and left hands. Some people type | instead.

"Some people type | instead."

But most, I think, just leave a blank space.

Best regards,

As for the other section that you were asking about, I just use the normal fingereings, but I put a bit of a break between the beats. Even just a little space can make things a lot easier- or at least less hard. :)
