ALBÉNIZ | Iberia, Book 2: I. Rondeña: mm. 127–8

“In mm 127–8 of the lyrical Cante Jondo middle section, the LH accompaniment reach is large for small-handed people (the only passage in this section like this), so I play the right-hand melody with my fifth finger and take the alternating E and G sharp of left left hand with my right hand, and cross my left hand over to only play the accompaniment F sharp. Voiced properly, no one will ever know the difference.”
