Fingering methods and rules for playing multi-fingered chords on the electronic keyboard

Everyone is welcome to read! For more relevant information, please pay attention to the relevant columns!

The fingering rules of first and third chords (also suitable for the right hand):

The fingering arrangements of the original position, first and second inversion of the triad can be briefly summarized as: chords Use fingers 1 to 5 for both the treble and bass. Use fingers 3 when the middle note and the note played by finger 5 form a third, and use two fingers when the note played by finger 5 forms a fourth.

When playing chord connections, try to keep the same notes in the same part. Only in this way can the chords be easy to play, less prone to mistakes, convenient and fast during the conversion process.

For example (taking the left hand as an example):

Convert from the major triad C to its subordinate major triad F . The first chord C (speaking in simplified notation, the same below) 1 3 5, fingering (5 3 1), and the subordinate chord F should play its second inversion 1 4 6, fingering (1 2 5), so that the two The first unison of the chord 1 remains in the same voice.

In order to make the connection of some chords smooth, when using the inversion of the chord, the fingering arrangement can be adjusted accordingly (use the 4 2 1 fingering).

For example: Convert from the major triad C to its dominant major triad G. The fingering for the first chord C in root position can be changed to (4 2 1), and the next dominant chord G should use its first inversion 7 2 5 (7 is the bass 7 with 1 dot added below). The fingering (5 3 1) In this way, the unison 5 of the two chords remains in the same voice.

2. The fingering method for playing seventh chords (dominant seventh, diminished seventh, augmented seventh, etc.) is simpler. Playing four notes with five fingers is very convenient. Regardless of the original position or the transposition, it is often played in its elliptical form. It just depends on your personal playing habits. What is good fingering? I think: reasonable, convenient, smooth, and naturally good fingering.

For example: the fingering of G’s dominant seventh chord 5 7 2 4 (one bass point is added to each of the simplified notation notes of 5 7) should be (5 3 2 1). If (5 4 2 1) is used, it is not a natural hand shape and cannot be adopted. Another example: when playing the dominant seventh chord in the second inversion ellipsis 7 4 5 (7 is the lower plus 1 bass point), you said you don’t need to use the (5 2 1) finger? What else could be better? What's more natural than that?

3. Fingering rules for playing major chords (triads with an octave added):

Play the original position, first, second inversion, and The fingering arrangement can be briefly summarized as follows: both the left and right hands use fingers 1 and 5 to play the high and low notes (octave) of the major chord. When the sound played by the 5 fingers is enough to form a third interval with the adjacent chord sound, This major chord is generally referred to as (1 2 4 5). When the note played by the 5th finger is a fourth interval from the adjacent chord tone, the major chord is generally referred to as (1 2 3 5).

What needs to be explained is: when the left hand plays the original position of a major chord with black key sounds and the right hand plays the second inversion of a major chord with black key sounds, when the note played by the 5th finger is the same as the corresponding note When the adjacent chord tones are enough to form a major third interval, the fingering should be (1 2 3 5).

IV. The arpeggio fingering rules for playing triads:

1. The original position and inversion arpeggios of the triad with the white key as the bass, and the three black keys The fingering rules of the original position and inverted arpeggios of trichords composed of tones can be arranged according to the fingering rules of major chords.

2. The fingering method for triad arpeggios in which the bass and fifth notes are black keys and the third note is white keys. The rule is: whether it is the left or right hand, use 1 finger to play the white keys, and 2 and 4 fingers to play the white keys. Black keys are OK.
