How should I finger A# and F# Major with the left hand, 5-2-1 or 5-3-1?
1 Answer
You should be able to lay all major/minor chords in first inversion as 5-3-1 (or 1-3-5 in the right hand). In most cases, F# Major included, doing anything else will generally cramp your fingers and make it harder to play.
The A# one could alternatively be played 4-2-1. This might help if you're having trouble stretching with your pinky to the black key.

Do you mean root position or first inversion? (Most often I'd play first inversion RH 1-2-5, not 1-3-5. Root position 1-3-5 is fine.) Jan 5, 2016 at 14:56
