MOZART | Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 333: I. mm. 19–21
 
Piano fingerings for Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 333, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

“Playing the sixteenth notes that occur on the quarter beats with the right hand thumb helps to voice the "hidden" line in this compound melody. This redistribution is also designed to allow the right hand to remain in a relatively relaxed position when playing this passage at the indicated "Allegro" tempo. The performer should be careful to avoid emphasizing the left hand thumb in the same manner as the right hand or holding the thumb notes in either hand longer than the duration of a sixteenth note.”

"Although redistributions are frequently used to solve vertical problems, they can be used with equal success to preserve the graceful beauty of a horizontal line that would be more easily marred through finger crossings or traditional repeated-note fingerings."
