Help with this rolled chord in Clair de Lune?
-
There’s a rolled chord in Clair de Lune that is giving me a lot of trouble. Here’s the score:
This is measures 25-27. Oh and for the record, CdL (this part anyway) is in Db major, so five flats.
The part I’m struggling with is the LH in measure 26. First I played it 5-4-3-2-1, then I tried 5-3-2-1-2. Neither fingering choice was working. Then my teacher suggested to take the Db Eb with the thumb (i.e. play them with the thumb at basically the same time o r maybe with a slight lag as the thumb goes down on Db first), so now I’m playing it 5-3-2-1-1. I’ve been trying to play it this way for the last few days.
But with each of these three options, I can’t seem to get it to sound right, or even passable. The rest of the LH here, and of course the RH, are all fine.
Any suggestions about how to practice it? Or any thoughts on these different fingering options? What fingering would you do?
@kluurs @bernard and @andyd any advice?
Anyone else, please chime in!
TIA!!
