Right-hand fingering
How to do it
- Left hand over the C chord (C-E-G): play C-G-E-G with fingering 5-1-3-1.
- Keep the pattern soft and even, like a background; the wrist makes a small circular motion.
- Once it is automatic, add a long note in the right hand on top.
Variations
- Move the pattern to F and G and chain C-F-G-C.
- Play a simple melody in the right hand while the left keeps the Alberti.
- Try another accompaniment: the waltz one (bass - chord - chord).
