“Here are fingering options for both m. 16 and m. 17:
M. 16: Using the same fingering for all of the 4ths, specifically with LH 1 and 4, allows for a resonant, bell-like sound that differs from any sound created with the right hand (perhaps it has to the with the placement of the thumb).
M. 17: Although uncomfortable at first, this allows for proper and organic execution of the tricky two note slur.”
