I'm starting the Bb major prelude op 23 #2 and I have a book of the preludes with MINIMAL fingering. I've found several versions online that have no fingering, and this prelude happens to have no fingering in my edition (it has some, but in obvious places that don't really need it indicated) I noticed instantly the left hand span is HUGE and found this fingering works for me:
1&5 (on the octave Bb's) 4 - 2 - 1 - 4 - 3 - 1&2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - etc, etc...
Is this correct? I'm not sure if this is the intended fingering at all, but I've tried a couple things, and this one seems to work, it's just awkward playing anything at all after the octave Bb's. How legato does the left hand have to be, and in this part is pedalling a necessity in keeping the left hand legato? Generally, what do I have to do to make the left hand keep the sweeping motion in the initial fingering. (more questions will come later when I get further in the prelude :D) |

I have a question about Rachmaninoff's Prelude in B Flat, Op. 23 Nr. 2.
The question regards measure 25. All musical logic leads me to believe the A4 in the middle of the second beat should be flatted. All other As in the measure are flatted.
I assume it's just a typo in my edition, or perhaps even an error on Rachmananoff's part, but I thought I'd mention it here to see what others and their editions have to say.
Thanks,
