”I find descending broken octaves, especially those that range multiple octaves and cross the body, difficult to execute. With this redistribution, I alternate hands to play the D# (an easy key to find quickly, since it's a black key).

“Taking the the bottom notes of the right-hand octaves allows both hands to remain within a fifth. Any energy saved by using a more compact hand position is necessary in this fast and virtuosic movement.”
