Assuming no accidentals. If there are accidentals, the fingering might shift depending on what'll end up being most comfy---you'd always slide the tumb under the third or fourth finger, though. Under second finger is hard to do at speed; under fifth finger has no point.
Ah -- now I'm going to have to go run some scales with sharps in 'em just to get a feel for what to expect. Thanks.
Someday I should have you correct my wrist position and see whether that makes the thumb crossing easier. But I can see I've got a lot of practice ahead of me in any case.
Now if I can do this while simultaneously managing the left-hand stuff I want to hear against it (the whole reason for trying this tune on piano in the first place) ...
*nod* I can certainly see that it's going to take me a while to get smooth at it at speed. While I don't have any plans to actually become a pianist, I can see that it's going to take a lot of practice just to manage what I do want to do on the keyboard.
So far, in addition to the thumb not always getting far enough over if I go to fast, the problem I'm having is that a couple of notes come out slightly weaker than the others. That's just a practice practice practice thing too?
Thanks, everyone. My thumb still doesn't want to go in the right place, but I'm working on it, and I can see how/why this is the answer. (It does work if I slow it down a notch.)
