I found the Russian scales stream so useful so looking forward to this one, In the last few months two pieces I've worked on come to mind where passages with arpeggios have given me trouble which involve lots of "jumping" around on black keys. One is the right hand patterns in Beethoven 31/op. 110 that start at measure 12 and involve jumps from the thumb down to the 3rd finger that I can never do cleanly at speed. Another piece is Chopin Nocturne op 55. no 2 with the continuous left hand arpeggios that involve large jumps as well and I find difficult to make legato and gets tiring after a while. I'm sure you'll have useful examples. Thanks so much for doing this.

I just viewed this yesterday and found it to be very helpful—thanks! A question: do you, or did you, practice this pattern beginning on other notes? If so, for patterns beginning on black keys, do you start with 5(L) and 1(R), or do you change the fingerings to conform to traditional arpeggio fingerings? Thanks again. Terry.
