How do YOU play double thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, etc?
Just trying to find a way to play them smoothly. I can play 4 consectutive chords smoothly, then I have a 'hiccup' as I have to change from an awkward fingering, then smooth, then another 'hiccup', etc. How about you?

It's Beethoven's sonata op2 no1 f minor, 3rd movement (minuet and trio) in the trio section. there is a whole bunch of consecutive fourths.

Seen at meas. 60-62. I suggest you try the fingering present in the Peters edition, present on imslp (scanned by Piupianissimo) . To summarize this fingering: 1|4, 2|5 etc. Also look at the other editions.
If a "hickup" means only a short silence between notes, "fill" it with very short pedalling. But I assume you're able to play notes with a regular rythm, legato or not.

Yes, it means that. I don't use that fingering, I use a 2-5, 1-4, 2-5, 1-4, etc pattern for those consectutives. That way, I shouldn't get any gaps, but I get gaps when it's a 3rd apart for both fingers ( between chords 6 & 7) or flats (9 & 10, 15 & 16) , as well as between every 3 chords...coulonnus wrote: If a "hickup" means only a short silence between notes, "fill" it with very short pedalling.
