I am practicing left hand of the following peice on piano. It needs to be played relatively fast with fingers spanned over an octave, involving D3, G3, B3b, D4. Any advice on how to position my hand for best performance?

I would use a fingering like this:
Update:
- in terms of hand position, you will have some kind of rotation, bending when playing in this octave some kind of
)shape from you forearm to your fifth finger tip. - I would not play this with flat fingers, since it should be played fast I would keep my fingers as round as possible.
- the vertical position I would have my fifth finger on the
D3right in the first section between C# and D#, the third finger rather towards the end ofG3the second finger almost in the middle ofB3band the first finger onD4rather at the front bit of the key, definitely not between the black keys.

How do you position you hand itself. Would you try to bend your finger, and form your hand like a cup. Or would you do it almost straightened hand. I noticed that flat hand and fingers are more comfortable in this particular case.– Saj_EdaDec 23, 2017 at 20:55

B3#? - in the score example there is a B-flat used, shouldn't it beB3b?
