.:;; h o u g h the fingering patterns within these moves are

~ 5 ~ 1 o u sdifferent ly for the major, melodic and F minor arpeggio
tarmonic minor scales; for scales in the keys of E to G:

E major

BL major
dominant seventh

E rninor melodic

and for the keys of Bb t o Eb, and for dominant

sevenths starting between Bb and Eb, the following:
E minor harmonic
