First appeared in Dorothy Woster Brandwein, "Divisi Fingering in Selected Passages from Ravel's Solo Piano Works" (DMA diss., University of Missouri–Kansas City, 1981), 27, 94.

26–27: “Constant thirty-second note figurations provide an undercurrent of sound throughout ‘Ondine.’ Measures like those in Example 6 can be played smoothly and with less effort when the notes are taken by the hand closest to them… The above measures, as well as those in Example 7, illustrate a consistency in the note patterns and their fingerings.”
