Hi everybody,

I wasn't sure what you were asking, and others who read your post were probably wondering the same thing. I'll take a stab at answering the question, but perhaps you will clarify what problem is.

For the left hand, you'll need to arpeggiate the notes unless you have a very large hand span. Catch the lower one (G♯) with the pedal.

For the chord in the right hand, use the thumb on F♯ and G♯, 2 on the B♯, 4 on E and 5 on the higher G♯. Play the D♯ with 3.

As said above, arpeggio the left hand and use thumb for the F#G# on the right hand.

And, good luck with the rest of this piece, if this is giving you troubles already :p

I'm learning the same piece and am at the same area that you are in. In terms of the left hand, you will have do an arpeggio. use finger 5 (pinky) to play the G-sharp and the finger 1 (thumb) to play the B-sharp.

The right hand is a bit more complicated. I use finger 1 (thumb) to play both the F-sharp and the G-sharp, finger 2 to play B-sharp, finger 3 for E natural and finger 5 for high G-sharp (you can try finger 4 for the high G-sharp if your hands can handle it).

I would also recommend you use a different edition if possible. The one you are using is Rafael Joseffy's edition. His edition does not agree with the autograph and the first edition. I would recommend either the New Liszt edition edited by Zoltán Gárdonyi or the Liszt-Stiftung edition edited by Peter Raabe. Both editions can be found on www.imslp.org
You should use the Joseffy's edition for fingering only since the other two editions I suggested do not provide any.

Hope this helps

I especially like the suggestion to use 4 on that higher G-sharp. Let us know how it works!
