Hello.  I just paid, joined, and printed out my first sheet music from pianostreet.com - Brahms's Intermezzo, Op. 117 No. 1.  I see that there is no fingering.  I looked through a few threads and didn't find any information about this.  Does any of the pianostreet.com sheet music have fingering?  If not, is there a similar site that does?

If you are taking lessons,  then perhaps your instructor could help you?  And if not, I'm sure there is someone in the forum that can assist you.

I have found that sheet music with fingering has been useful at times, but it is not necessarily the ultimate solution to the problem of finding the most efficient way to tackle the technical aspects of a piece.

Use whatever fingering suits your purpose in learning a new piece. What is comfortable and works for you may not be suitable or desirable for someone else.

In most cases, I believe that any fingering provided has been most likely added by the publisher's editor and not by the composer.

In general, I often prefer the fingering that I have worked out even when provided with such info.

That is all fine.  And I appreciate that you are trying to help.  But I want the fingering.  That is why I asked about it.  So far I have gotten answers to things other than what I've asked about, and that's not really helping.

Well, perhaps if you made an attempt to figure out the fingering for yourself and then asked for specific bars that you need assistance with, you may get a better response.

As it is, to ask for the fingering for the entire piece would be asking a bit much, don't you think?

Cheers,
