question on chopin etude opus 10 no 2
on: April 27, 2007, 10:35:48 PM
someone awhile back was so kind to post alfred cortot's version of the opus 25 (12 etudes) - but i don't recall that the opus 10 was also available.  does anyone have notes for the opus 10 no2? 

ok.  there's several fingerings.  one that someone was so kind to share - was the fingering where you slide the fifth finger.  ie:  first measure fingering rh 421/ 554 321/ 455 421/ 554 421/ 554  ...  and so forth.

are these cortot's fingerings?  just wondering.  can anyone share the notes of cortot's if they have them.

you're so nice.  thank you thank you.  now, all i have to do is write this all in french somewhere's on a translation site.  wait - this is translated, too.  you are too kind!

cortot takes into account that the two sixteenths on the first of each beat don't have to be held.  so, his fingering doesn't bother with the finger slides.  i suppose that if you want it really smooth - cortot's are the best?  the finger slides help with other things - but not this?

he always seems to let the middle of the hand be the guide.

as i see it - the fingering isn't that hard once you realize that only the third or fourth finger of the rh is going to be taking the black notes.  everything else sort of falls into place.
