hi people. can anyone give me advice on how to play a passage in this piece? It's marked "15" in the kalmus score (page 20). It's the wild "circus" part after the repeated note fugato where the RH has a version of dies irae and sixteenth note accompaniment, and the LH has jumping eight notes.,

Can't figure out how to play the right hand. my hand's big but jumping around like that is makign it real uncomfortable? maybe someone can suggest a fingerin,g or is there an edition thats already got it? This one hardly gives you anything.
help me!

My edition (Peters) starts with RH4 on the eighth notes, but I wouldn't use it. Avoid the evil 4th finger and use 5, which sets you up better for rotating into the following figuration.

By the way, can anyone help me find the orchestration for this piece? I checked wikipedia, several Liszt home pages. I don't have access to the full score but would like to know exactly who plays.

Many thanks,

Haha. Sorry, I had to post this hilarious MIDI of totentanz which I found searching for the instrumentation:

Toy piano and Kazoos! Great orchestration.

OK, I guess if you can play this thru your midi portal and emulation software it'll maybe sound better.
