D♯ minor five-finger position
The same five fingers with the middle finger one key lower, for a sadder sound.
How to play it
The numbers are your fingers: 1 is the thumb, 5 the little finger.
Right hand
Thumb (1) on D♯, then one finger on each key up to A♯ with your little finger (5): D♯ E♯ F♯ G♯ A♯. Play up and back down, one note a beat.
Left hand
An octave lower, little finger (5) on D♯ and thumb (1) on A♯. Play the same five notes up and back down: fingers 5 4 3 2 1.
Both hands
Both hands play the same notes an octave apart, but the fingers mirror each other: when the right hand plays 1, the left hand plays 5. Go slowly.
