The rule applies with equal force when you turn a finger over the thumb, unexpected although it may seem.
Therefore, to help a finger turned over the thumb (for example, when the left hand plays an ascending passage),
you must still give the invisible or visible rotatory help outwards after finger 3 crosses over the thumb.
Thus, when playing a trill played with a finger turned over the thumb, you should give alternate rotations
- inwards (towards the thumb) and
- outwards (towards the 5th finger).
The motions are continuous, visible and smooth during practice and invivible during performance.
Much scale-playing is uneven because this rule has not been grasped.
This rule, however, is precisely reversed when you turn a long finger over a short one.
Hence, when the middle-finger is turned over the fifth, you must rotate with the middle-finger towards the thumb side.
