POULENC | Sextet, FP 100: I. mm. 230–31

 
Piano fingerings for Sextet for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, and Piano , FP. 100, by Francis Poulenc

“The 4/4 bar starts a new page in most editions, so taking the B in the right hand gives enough time for the left hand to turn the page. Grabbing the G-flat with the left hand eliminates an awkward stretch in the right hand. I play the final G with the left hand as Poulenc suggests.”
