My hand can stretch up to an interval of the eleventh (one octave plus fourth, for example, notes c to f). The two versions of octaves performed using the third finger are shown in Example 4. Examples 2 and 3 show various options for using the fourth finger. For small hands, this fingering applies to scales in all keys. Please see the examples of such fingering on the score below:Įxample 1 above shows the fingering style for double octaves using the fifth finger only. The traditional fingering practice suggests that piano octaves performed on white keys should be executed with the fifth finger while the third and fourth should be used on black keys. After many years of practice, I found that for my hands (which are not small), octaves performed with the fifth finger only – on all keys – are the best option. In today’s article, I would like to discuss the traditional fingering for double octaves in piano: using a fourth and fifth finger – and occasionally the third.
