Gnomus
on: July 22, 2007, 11:58:42 PM
This is intended for those who have played Gnomus from Pictures at An Exhibition:

What fingering do you use at the end - the flourish in 2 part counterpoint that ends the 'picture'? I have a few different ones worked out, but I am curious to know what others found comfortable.

Thanks in advance.
Asked if he had ever conducted any Stockhausen,Sir Thomas Beecham replied, "No, but I once trod in some."

do you mean measure 94 to 99?  the 'velocissimo' part? my henle edition uses 5 to start the flourish and uses all five fingers equally in measure 95. in measure 96 he uses 1 on the A-natural and D-natural.  measure 97 he uses 1 on the second F.  measure 98 1 on the A-natural and 3 on the D-natural.

for the lh...(in the treble clef) he uses 1213 to start measure 95.  measure 96 he uses 1 on the Eb and Cb.  measure 97  1 on the A-nat and Gb going to 2 on the D-nat.  measure 98  a 1 on the Ab. 

that's about it.  hope it's what you were looking for.
