Need help with Fingering on Horowitz piece
on: April 14, 2015, 03:04:16 PM
Hi, I'm working on Horowitz's version of Danse Macabre and I'd like to hear your fingering recommendation for these 2 bars.

Check the image below, in green is the fingering I found but it still feels awkward to play, considering you have to play this part at lightning speed.

In this video at 5:40

Thank you for your help.
Horowitz - Danse Macabre / Carmen variatons
Chopin - Polonaise in A flat Major + Etudes
Liszt - Liebestraum #3
Beethoven - Moonlight 3rd movement
