Beethoven sonatas urtext without fingerings?

on: March 14, 2009, 06:16:39 PM

Is there any editions that doesn't have fingerings? Or minimal amount of fingerings and editorial marks. Henle?

I thought Urtext was as pure and researched as you could get. ... and so the fingerings would be from the composer then.

Am I off?

You could track down a copy of the manuscript too maybe.
