Rachmaninoff Op.33 Etude 6

[rjm-uk]

I would like to learn this etude but am unsure as to its difficulty, i am a good pianist but this is my first Rach Etude...Also what fingering is supposed to be used for the right hand in bar 4. Is it     (1+2 -  4) (1+2 -  4) (1+3 -  4) If u get my meaning!

Sounds like a b**tch to play...
Sorry I'm nowhere near the level required for that kind of piece, my answer will be of no help.

yes that'll be right.

if you feel more comfortable, you could try a 5 with the 4.

33-6 is probably one of the easiests in the whole set, in my opinion.

is 33-6 the e flat, allegro con fuoco? sometimes i see it as 33-6 sometimes as 33-7.
personally i play
13-5 13-5 24-5.
you could stick to 12-4 12-4 13-4 if you have really big hands. or feel uncomfortable with 5.
but i dont see why you cant play 13-5 with big hands because i play it that way and i feel fine. and my handspan is between C-F and C-G. in fact i find 12-4 more uncomfortable. good luck with 33-6 its a really really really really fun etude. i like it very much (:
