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.
E-Flat Major contains Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C, D. Repeat Eb at the top to complete one octave. Its key signature has 3 flats.
E-flat major contains E♭, A♭, and B♭, with G–A♭ and D–E♭ as the half-step pairs. A♭ and B♭ are consecutive scale notes, but the distance between them is a whole step. The key signature lists the flats in the order B♭, E♭, A♭.
This one-octave source version starts the right hand with finger 2 on E♭. It assigns 3–4–1 to A♭–B♭–C and finishes on finger 3. The left hand starts E♭ with finger 3, crosses from G with the thumb to A♭ with finger 4, and turns at upper E♭ with finger 2.
Suggested drill: play G–A♭–B♭–C in the right hand with 2–3–4–1, then return with 1–4–3–2. Follow this with a left-hand G–A♭ connection. Once those changes are clear, combine each fragment into a complete one-octave run while retaining the flat spellings.
The one-octave ascending notes are Eb–F–G–Ab–Bb–C–D–Eb. The key signature contains 3 flats: Bb, Eb, Ab. These accidentals also apply in descent.
In the cited right-hand ascent, Ab–Bb–C uses 3–4–1. In descending order, C–Bb–Ab uses 1–4–3. These numbers belong to the displayed one-octave row, whose initial Eb uses finger 2.
This source-documented one-octave reference shows right hand ascending 2–1–2–3–4–1–2–3 and descending 3–2–1–4–3–2–1–2; left hand ascending 3–2–1–4–3–2–1–2 and descending 2–1–2–3–4–1–2–3. 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.
Suggested drill: play G–A♭–B♭–C in the right hand with 2–3–4–1, then return with 1–4–3–2. Follow this with a left-hand G–A♭ connection. Once those changes are clear, combine each fragment into a complete one-octave run while retaining the flat spellings.
