[musictlk] Piano Fingering

[Kenneth Downey]

Well, if you play the scales, it's obvious why you wouldn't use your pinky or your thumb on the Blackies… They just don't land there, with the exception of the G flat scale. I don't think there's a way around it for that one. Definitely, for any cording,you would use both him and pinky on the black notes. It's just the scales that don't count.
