Left-hand Fingering for

 Giuliani's Sonata in C Major

Part 2

Previous   Part 1   Part 2   Part 3   Part 4   Next

The 3^rd finger is used to play the bass C notes from 6A to 6B, with open D notes in between. When playing a D note, the C note can be muted in two different ways. Either lightly lift third finger off the fret during the D note or with the side of the right hand thumb mute the C note while thumbing the D note.

            Open D note is moved from 7A to 7B. By doing so, tonal change from fretted D note to open D note is hidden by additional notes. (7C)

Alternative for measures 26 thru 28 using barres.

In comparison to the entire piece, mechanically, measures 30 to 33 (8.) are relatively easy, but dynamically among the hardest. Make the left hand effortless and concentrate on the voice.

Alternative ways to play grace notes at measure 37 (9A)

At 10A the f sharp note is played with the 1^st finger instead of the 2^nd. At 10B the C note is played with the 2^nd finger instead of the 3^rd. With these changes, the 2^nd finger doesn’t shift widely on the fingerboard and turns the hand to a more natural position when approaching the passage 10C thru 10D.
