It's Nancy Bricard's Alfred Publishing edition, and I agree, it's an excellent one, I own it too. But I don't think it's fair to publish without permission an edition which still retains it's copyright  :(

Worov, do you perhaps have a version of Ravel's La Valse with additional fingering and notes?

Am I the only one that finds it impossible to believe anyone is in a position to attempt these pieces but cannot manage their own fingering?  :o

Given the (at first glance) chaotic nature of the piece, I think in this case it saves a lot of time to use preestablished fingerings.

agreed, but when the piece is out of your league you start seeing what technique you lack!

I never have to go out of my league to be aware of what I'm lacking. The advantage is it is then also "in my league" to actually do something about it, rather than just lament the lack.

I also use the Alfred edition with the Durand for Le Tombeau.  Great suggestions!
