Hi ,hope someone can help,
I just got the schubert waltzes which I downloaded free online but they have no fingering notation on them. :'(
I play around grade 3-4 and Im self taught so far, what I was wondering was if their are a few golden rules which may help work out the fingering for these pieces. If not should I just use my own (amateurs) intuition or would this be likely to do more harm than good? I dont feel I know enough to just make it up myself but I dont have the means or the time to pay for lessons at the moment. Is their any kind of resource online , a book I can buy or anything that might help me solve this. Thanks in advance

Shubert's Dances? wow..
I can say this about Shubert: He is not kind to the hands when it comes to playing his music. He cares little if its difficult going.
I have a suggestion in terms of music you might want to consider BEFORE you take on the dances. Twenty Five Progressive Studies for the Piano Op. 100, by Friedrich Burgmuller.
They are melodius and designed to introduce a beinning student to the various challenges in technque that Romantic music requires.
Most importantly: your progress will increase by leaps and bounds IF you find a teacher.
He or She will guide you to where you want to go: To play Shubert Dances. You'll gain insight into the music you might not get otherwise,thus, making your experience richer and certainly worthwhile, IF you truly love playing!
Best wishes!
