Hola, Mr. Mario: People don't seem to like the traditional arpeggio fingerings. The recommended fingerings are the best place to start. Variations in the way our hands were created give each of us our own "best fit" for the keyboard. Thank you for the lesson. It was exactly what I was looking for.

1-2-3-5 for EVERY arpeggio that starts on a white key? Um, no. Wow.

@maulcs Yes, in the right hand. If you disagree, then enlighten us with which arpeggio that starts on a white key that has an alternate fingering.

@mariocast 1-2-4 for quite a few of them including C major and C minor: that is, if you are using proper arm weight, and want to go faster than a snail.

@maulcs While 1-2-4 might work for you, most pianists use 1-2-3 and (with proper support of the arm) will have no problem playing "faster than a snail" (which was more hyperbole on your part). One reason not to use 1-2-4-5 is the added unnecessary stress created at the top of the arpeggio by stretching a perfect 4th between your 4th and 5th fingers at the top of the arpeggio. It hurts even me to stretch between those 2 fingers that much, and I have relatively large hands.
