SCHUBERT | Fantasy in F Minor for Four Hands, D. 940: mm. 543–52
 
Piano fingerings for Fantasy in F Minor for Four Hands, D. 940, by Franz Schubert

“I find it easier to start the left-hand octaves in m. 544 and keep them through the down beat of m. 547. Taking the Cs as octaves in mm. 549 and 552 allows the left hand move to its new position earlier.”

R. SCHUMANN | Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54: III. mm. 442–45
 
Piano fingerings for Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54, by Robert Schumann

“Starting with a right-hand octave facilitates a left-hand position shift over a smaller interval (D to C-flat). Grabbing the E-flats as a left-hand octave in m. 445 eliminates a fingering cross that I found unreliable.”
