Anyone has the fingering for chromatic scale section (Right-H) for Flight of the Bumble Bee and Bumble Boogie?

I don't know about Bumble Boogie, as for the Flight of the Bumble Bee, I assume you're talking about the Rachmaninoff transcription. There are chromatic scales all over the work, so I'm not gonna write down the rh fingerings for the whole work...





Two best fingerings for the general chromatic scale (I'll write 1 octave, from C to C#):





1.


up: rh: 1-3-1-3-1-2-3-1-3-1-3-1-2-3...


lh: 1-3-1-3-2-1-3-1-3-1-3-2-1-3...





2.


up: rh: 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2(3)-1-2-3-1-2...


lh: 3-2-1-3-2-1-4-3-2-1-2(3)-1-3-2...





down (both 1 and 2) - reverse (read from right to left, C# to C)





One more thing for the Fligh of the Bumblebee (Rachmaninoff): in bars 1 and 3, the first note (the E) should be played lh. I recommend the second set of fingerings (less cross over the thumb).





best luck
