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), 34, 96.

34: “Divisi fingering can diminish interference between the hands in many measures that have a complex harmonic texture or figuration. Example 16 shows measures…which have in common the necessity for a blend of notes at great speed and at very soft dynamic levels.”
