 Fingering in Liszt Sonata Passage
November 10, 2008, 07:02:17 AM by jbb

I think anyone studying this piece will have a different section that is most difficult for him or her. For me, I found the alternating arpeggio section beginning at m. 40 to be elusive in terms of the left hand. I see several alternatives for the fingering:
E D B G E D B G E (or B A F# D B A F# D B)
1 2 3 5 1 2 3 5 3
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 3
or, take the first E with the RH chord (BGE played with 542), then play the D with the thumb of the right hand and the LH arpeggio as:
B G E D B G E
1 2 4 1 2 4 5
I find the first (1235) difficult because my pinky is somewhat short, the second a bit of an uncomfortable stretch (particularly for the second arpeggio) and the last the most comfortable but am concerned with the break in the RH.
I'm curious as to what people here who mastered this passage have used.
I can offer the hint that in the passage that follows beginning at m. 51, it's much easier (at least for me, to get all the notes to sound consistently) to take the first note of each group of eight RH notes with the left hand.

Liszt Sonata

Hey all! Been a while since I have been around, hope everyone's holiday season was a good one. Anyway, I have been out of school for a while, which has given me some great "me" time, and I have started working on the Liszt sonata. Saying starting working on the sonata actually does not even begin to describe what I did. I COMPLETELY immersed myself in the piece collecting any recordings possible, reading the wonderful "Liszt Sonata in B minor" book, any analysis of the piece I could find (which weren't many), and really just ANYTHING I could find about the piece of music. It truly is one of the greatest/most important pieces of music written, given all of the circumstances. Anyway, does anyone have anything on the piece at all they would be willing to share with me? Only finding 1 good analysis accompanied by a few articles and things really is uncool and I want so much more than what I have. Anything at all would be so greatly appreciated. Another question that I have is; Does anyone know of a publishing of the piece with Liszt's own marking/fingerings? Thanks for any help!
Cheers!
Rick

For Gold members: Liszt's B minor Sonata autograph

Liszt's original manuscript of the B minor sonata is available to download for Piano Street Gold members.
I checked it out, and I tell you: it is an amazing experience listening to the recording while reading Liszt's note scribbles. Somehow, the music makes so much more sense, following the original sheet music. It even includes Liszt's fingering and whole sections that were crossed out. Going through it really paints a picture of the man and makes him seem so much more human than legend.
If you can, I strongly suggest you download it!

| What customers said about pianostreet.com: |
"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."
Paul, Llansannan, UK. |
"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."
Robert York, pianist
Long Beach, California |
"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
