Source-scoped one-octave fingering row.
One-octave reference. Finger numbers appear only for the hand and direction combinations covered by the sources listed above.
A Major contains A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#. Repeat A at the top to complete one octave. Its key signature has 3 sharps.
A major uses C-sharp, F-sharp, and G-sharp. In the key signature, their written order is F♯, C♯, G♯; in the ascending scale, C♯ is encountered first. The half-step pairs are C♯–D and G♯–A. Key signatures list accidentals in a fixed order; a scale lists notes starting from its tonic.
For this one-octave version, the right hand crosses from C♯ with finger 3 to D with the thumb. The left hand crosses from E with the thumb to F♯ with finger 3. The final G♯–A uses right-hand fingers 4–5 and left-hand fingers 2–1.
Suggested drill: point to the three altered notes in the note list, then play A–B–C♯–D followed by E–F♯–G♯–A. During a return run, say G-sharp and F-sharp aloud. Finish by checking the same passage on the staff without adding unnecessary accidental symbols beside every note.
The one-octave ascending notes are A–B–C#–D–E–F#–G#–A. The key signature contains 3 sharps: F#, C#, G#. These accidentals also apply in descent.
Key signatures use an established accidental order; A major lists F#, C# and G#. The scale starts on A, so its ascending note order is A–B–C#–D–E–F#–G#–A. The order of sharps in the signature is not the order in which they are encountered from the tonic.
This source-documented one-octave reference shows right hand ascending 1–2–3–1–2–3–4–5 and descending 5–4–3–2–1–3–2–1; left hand ascending 5–4–3–2–1–3–2–1 and descending 1–2–3–1–2–3–4–5. Read each row in playing order. These are sourced choices, not the only possible fingerings, and must not be repeated mechanically for a second octave.
