Hello,
I'm currently working on the second concerto by rachmaninoff and i have a little problem in the third movement!
After the arpeggios where the piano starts to play without the orchestra i can't find good fingerings for the left hand!I use (532)-1-2-(51) but i can't get it at the correct tempo!
Some help would be appreciated!

Hey there...

Rach 2's 3rd movement... right, I know exactly where you're talking about.  8)

When I played that concerto, the fingering that you gave was exactly what I used... 532-1-2-51 in the left hand. Tricky, yeah, but it's the best I found... however, I haven't played that concerto in a while, and in between now and then I've learnt a lot... so there may be a better fingering out there!

Good luck with the concerto, it's a gorgeous piece.

hi!
I know this is a 10 year old thread, but I am working on the same movement. I am having trouble with the section in between the first moderato and the presto section. Do you have any practice tips for this?

Thanks!
