Hi Marcus, I looked up the music on IMSLP, and no copy I saw there has measure numbers. Can you attach a picture of those two measures? Thanks, Jenny

i see you meant the Allegro movement not the Allegretto movement. I will amend my scans tomorrow in morning.

Hi Marcus, As a rule of thumb, try to minimize the number of hand positions. Here is one possible fingering for those measures: 23132435 1(now we're on the D in a new hand position)32435 1(now we're on the G in a new hand position)324 1(now we're on the B in a new hand position)32435(on the F). What do you think?

Marcus: try: (MS 150) rest/ 24131. 324131. (MS 151) 324131. 31312435 [f nat]

Henle and Alfred editions both suggest what I would also do, so I have attached it for you to try. Notice that the blue fingering has longer groups (121324) to facilitate keeping the thumb off the black keys while also avoiding 1313 repeats and then switches to the smaller group red fingering (1324) as soon as the black keys allow. Worth noting that these are also the fingering pairings that are typically used for playing a scale in parallel thirds with one hand (12, 13, 24, 35).
Good luck!

Hey Marcus. My favorite Mozart Sonata. Good luck, it's challenging. When I attack something like this I like to use the same pattern as much as possible, and I don't shy away from using my thumb on black notes...so, believe it or not, I use 1-2, 1-3, 2-4, 3-5...over and over again until I get to that F...
