Broken Chords and Arpeggios Fingering
This is the most compact, and easy to use "formula" for all of the existing broken chords fingering for
Major and Minor Triads.
This 'Formula" I have inherited from my mother, Julietta Arutyunova,
Master of Music in Performance and Pedagogy,
brilliant pianist, highly experienced and dedicated teacher.
Broken chords:
Using Only White Keys in all Major and Minor Triads:
L 4th, B 4th, R 4th
With the Black Keys:
Major - B 3rd, B 4th, R 4th
Minor - L 4th, B 4th, R 4th
Arpeggios:
First pattern of the fingering is for the Root position
Second pattern of the fingering is for the First inversion
Third pattern of the fingering is for the Second inversion
The explanation of the abbreviations:
R - right hand
L - left hand
B - both hands
The meaning of the numbers that are being used in the "formula"
The permanent fingers are 1st, 2nd, and 5th, therefore they are being omitted here.
The fingers that being alternated are 3rd, and 4th.
Accordingly:
L 4th means, that right hand plays 3rd finger.
R 4th means, that right hand plays 4th finger
B 4th means, that both hand play 4th finger
B 3rd means, that both hands play 3rd finger
