PRICE | Summertime Waltz: mm. 123–30
 

“Taking the B in the left hand in mm. 124 and 126 keeps the right hand in a more compact position. This redistribution for the final line eliminates the extreme crowding of Price’s distribution. The two-note slurs can still be observed with this fingering.”

PRICE | Cherry Blossoms in Her Hair (Debutante Waltz): mm. 103–10
 

“Playing the first note of the chromatic inner line in m. 106 with the right hand improves the legato. I take the end of the thirty-second note run end in the left hand instead of crossing over.”

PRICE | In Sentimental Mood: mm. 35–40
 

“I redivide the notes between the hands several times in this section. The hand crossing in m. 37 is awkward as written, so I take the upper C-sharp in left hand. In m. 39, the top notes of the lower staff can be taken in the right hand, and the Cs can be taken as an octave in the left hand in m. 40.”
