COPLAND | Piano Sonata: I. mm. 217–20
 
Piano fingerings for Piano Sonata by Aaron Copland

“The A-flat in m. 217 is struck by the right hand, then silently transferred to the left-hand thumb so that right can start the new line. The last A-flat in m. 219 is in the right hand’s current position, and this line continues to the right hand in the following measure anyway.”
