arpeggio A6 fingering

Author: claricolin

Hi folks, I’m working on 3 octave scales/arpeggios and am wondering how people finger the top A of a slurred A major/minor arpeggio. I’m using the same fingerings for the top E and A, but switching pinkys from RH D#/G# key for the E, to LH F#/C# key for the A. This works fine when tongued, but not when slurred. Is it just a case of working on the voicing to get it to slur smoothly, or do people use alternate fingerings in this situation? I have tried adding the RH ring finger to the A - which allows me to do the slur, but sounds quite flat. I’ve tried a few other fingerings but can’t seem to find one that is both convenient, and in tune!
Thanks for your thoughts…Colin
