Best Etudes-Tableaux Book?
on: June 01, 2012, 05:18:30 PM
Hey everyone,

I wanted to tackle Op. 33, No. 3...and any score of it on IMSLP has no fingering. I'm terrible at solving for efficient fingering, and was wondering if any of you knew any publishers to recommend for the Etudes?

etudes by whom? also usually at this level of music, fingerings are seldom provided ('this level' is generic for advanced repertoire in this case).  i'm not aware of any but henle usually has solid advice on some of their scores so you might see if they publsih a volume , i can't say since you didn't provide a composer.

also schott is an old reputable house, depending on the editor and composer they have some good stuff, my percy granger paraphrase has fingerings all over the place in the really chromatic stuff (which i sometimes use and sometimes scratch out as it is junk if your're not put together a certain way).

i think those bright orange and black scores (weiner ) those sometimes have decent stuff.

your best bet will be to find 'student editions' i.e. alfred has a great line of these usually murray baylor or maurice hinson's stuff , but again it will be hit and miss with advanced stuff since your expect5ed to be able to figure stuff out at those levels, or at the least use them to improve your ability to do so.

My bad, I thought the title would suffice. Etudes-Tableaux Op. 33 & 39 by Rachmaninoff. I was actually looking for a Maurice Hinson edit from Alfreds, since most of my Rach sheets are from collections compiled by him...however him/alfreds don't publish such. I saw one online by Schirmers; I've liked Schirmers fingering suggestions for the Chopin Etudes thus far, but I have no way of seeing online whether the Schirmers edition of the Etudes Tableaux have fingerings. If anybody knows if it does, it would be greatly appreciated.
