Abstract:

The keyboard instruments which differ greatly in structure such as organ, clavichord, harpsichord and piano have evolved throughout history and their fingerings have changed in parallel with the instruments, and thus have become an integral part of the technique and music. Within the process, the approach to the fingering and notation of fingerings has changed continuously due to the development of the repertoire. Although this change can be followed chronologically in general terms, it can also be observed that different finger rules are adopted in a period. Fingering is not only a field that provides technical solutions, but it also directly affects articulation and phrasing. In this study, in order to perform the works in a way that coincides with the period they were written in, all the different fingering approaches from the non-legato to the legato style are given.
