Wacky ways to finger a C Maj scale

Hanon #45 for good 4545s

[@Vasioth]

45 isn't actually difficult if you learn to use rotation. Rotation gets rid of that very weak feeling in 4-5 when doing scalic runs. Give it a try sometime.

[@JonathanYip]

Oohhhhh historical fingerings! There was even a practice where you're supposed to be slightly turned to your right, where the audience should be sitting and to which the harpsichord should be opening its lid - because you're having a conversation with the audience (so you should face them), and in this posture the 34-34 and 21-21 fingerings work superbly well.

[@charcharbeast2653]

Franz Liszt would disagree.

[@clone2255]

Interesting! Learning the 10-2 etude right now and the first advice my professor gave me was to turn to my right

Dave Frank tells the story that Lenny Tristano gave him the lesson to do every possible fingering for every possible scale every possible way (parallel, contrary, different skips, etc.), and that it took like 15 months for him to get through them all perfectly. But he said his fingers felt invincible when he did. He also said he'd never put himself through that again!

[@donaldedmonds365]

I was a student of Lennie Tristano for 1 year and I practiced these fingerings diligently. They were a great help to my over-all technique. R.I. P. Lennie

Your most brilliant video to date. While this may appear to some as overly simplistic, it can take ones playing to an all new level. Getting your fingers to move fast requires breaking it down into smaller and smaller steps. I've always done this with a guitar, but it never occurred to me to do this on piano. Thank you

[@none5020]

You can find similar exercises in Liszt's technical studies!

[@jwcjwc111]

I am predominantly a jazz pianist, and have little notion what my fingerings are on most occasions.

[@Robert_A_Keyboards4948]

I think you find a way if you don't have the fingerings down. However, these are fingerings that technically allow you to strengthen your fingers and get through complex movements on the keys easily. Usually early (if trained) in piano learning years.

[@jwcjwc111]

You’re correct, but at my age, that train already left the station.

[@pjbpiano]

There are basically two types of musicians. Technique based or note based. You’re the note based kind. Any available finger can be used to play the next available note. It’s the actual most useful skill for the improvising musician. The other one however…

[@splashesin8]

I keep thinking, not quite to the top of my range yet ...Singing these, no problems. Me playing these, 🤪

Lennie Tristano has the patent on these. These are great for us Jazz people. They let you go where you want to go. Check it out. You can do anything. 2,3 seems useless; but, Lennie used it. You can see him.

Yasss! 454545 very useful!!!

[@aaronocelot]

OK, this is a real issue. I'm a guitar player and drummer and feel kinda dumb not knowing how to move past 5 fingers without lifting my whole hand, I'm all working on intricate magical ninja finger rolls and yet this is *surely* the case where "Classical Music Piano Person with Formal Training" is actually called for, vs anyone else, like me.

[@FederSim]

It's crazy how you tripped over multiple times on 2323 and got 3434 right away. Props for that!

[@jwcjwc111]

You stole my line! Except it was Chico- he was the piano player.

[@Nostalgicavenue2000]

This could be a great way to strengthen your fingers so that you can use efficient fingering in piece instead of relying on the fingers that are strong yk.

[@DanielDugovic]

Wow, I hadn't imagined the 3434 scale.
