The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Mozart Fingering
on: April 07, 2010, 11:04:32 PM
I've never had problems with fingering before but for Mozart it completely fails me. Not gonna ask which edition is the 'best', but can anyone tell me if Wiener Urtext, Henle and/or Barenreiter have decent fingering, and any recommendations (not ABRSM, I can access it from a library)? I'm looking to replace this annoying Edition Peters

I'm also looking to replace my annoying Dover edition of the complete sonatas, which lacks fingerings entirely. I've been going to IMSLP whenever I have trouble with a passage, and also writing down my own fingerings in the book.

If only life were that simple.  Get a copy of the CPE Bach Sonatas that go with his Versuch.  Every single note is fingered (don't get ABRSM's, they screw up by removing some).  Mozart was brought up on it.

Henle, and Urtext take from the original score.  I have Morzart's piano sonatas in an urtext edition and love it.  I would definately recomend it.
