The choice of fingering in piano performance, which is closely related with our knowledge about the nature of music, plays an important role in piano pedagogy, and also exists as the most complicated problem. The scientific and reasonable usage of fingering will not only enhance the efficiency of study, the memory of notes and the mellifluence of performance, but also benefit the prompt, precise and accurate interpretation of the composers' works, which paves the way for the accomplishment of performance.In general, this thesis has two parts:The first part, with the topic about the fundamental practice, mainly concludes the categories of the basic fingerings in performance, and the effects produced by correct fingerings upon the formation of the excellent senses in position and distance.On the basis of the transformation and development of fingering arrangement, the second part, which discusses the fundamental principles, advances five essential principles of fingering designing, and deals with how to flexibly treat the ever-changing music in the boundary of general regulations. Both sides engaging into the pedagogy should build up the correct conception on fingering, and continuously study and explore the in-depth problems of music hidden behind the fingering choice, so as to make substantial progress in performance.
