Title: Rachmaninov Fingering
Post by: spb_jcb on September 08, 2012, 11:41:52 AM

Can anyone direct me to a score with fingering for the Rachmaniniv 3rd Piano Concerto first movement?
I am not sure if it exists but would help me work out some fingering.

Don't think it exists--you need to arrive at your best fingering by determining how the notes lay under your hand, you could watch videos of a performance for insights on any different or crossed sections

Interestingly, I have the score from the publisher International Music Company... oddly, the first movement does not have fingering, but the final two movements do.

I realize that this does not help you at all, but I'm wondering if fingering even exists for the first movement.  Maybe Rachmaninoff intended for the fingering to be intuitive (whatever that's supposed to mean).

Best of luck and post if you find it.  I'd be interested to see it myself.

Thanks.

I find it impossible to believe that someone who is in any position to actually play the Rach 3 needs help working out  fingering. For the whole thing, even!!  ::)
