Hi,
I was asking about dimished seventh chords required in grade 6 and the fingering.
For example, in the C major diminished seventh chord, should i play it like
C Eb Gb A C .....
1 2 3 4 1 ......
??
And in other keys, how should i play them?
I would use whatever fingering feels most comfortable. I've changed my fingering for all my arpeggios for Grade 8 piano to be the same for all inversions for a particular key, because that way I only have to remember a third the number of patterns. You are not marked on your fingering
per se but on the quality of the legato. If your choice of fingering interferes with that, you will be marked down
