“The voicing of the middle line towards the end of this Etude proves to be more effective with hand redistribution (and relieves the left hand from all those distances.) Particularly between the 4th and 5th eighth notes of m. 57 where the R.H. is able to hold the A to connect to the G (LH) keeping the line.”

“This was one of the pesky sections of the final etude of Op. 33; here are my ideal fingerings. Notice in the first beat unlike the right hand, which utilizes the distance between the 1st and 2nd fingers for easier grouping (5-4-3-2), the LH has to make do with (1-2-3-1) since the 4th and 5th fingers don’t have the distance.”
