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), 36, 95.

35: “Example 17 contains measures from several of Ravel's piano pieces in which an extended pattern is written for one hand or the other. In passages such as these, divisi fingering can alleviate any muscular tension which might occur from the constant use of one hand.”
