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), 37, 122.

37: “Pianists with small hands find that their speed and accuracy are particularly affected by the tension that builds during prolonged passages requiring an extended hand position. The ‘Toccata’ is very challenging for this reason. In Example 18, the left hand can easily help the right hand by sharing the notes on the upper staff.

The ‘Toccata’ is very challenging for this reason. In Example 18, the left hand can easily help the right hand by sharing the notes on the upper staff.”

44: “In Example 26 the use of the fifth finger is generally avoided so that every note can be more easily played at a fortissimo dynamic.”

46: “The passage shown in Example 29 is yet another illustration of the way divisi fingering can give speed and clarity to repeated notes. In these measures, facility is increased when the left hand plays every other group of two repeated notes; the right hand then has more time to find the dominant-seventh chord positions”
