As I said in the title... I need help with figureing out fingerings for this arpeggio (within the RED thingys ;D) ftp://pogotrucci:1shred1@ftp.passagen.se/liszt.JPG

And what pieces would you recomend that has the same technique as Chopins Etude Op10:1 that is around Grade 7(possibly 8-ish) or something that would prepare me for playing that piece.

Thanks in advance. :)
God Bless

Its nice to see you decided to take on the Liszt Transcendental Etude NO.1.

Ill write down the busoni fingerings.  Now, what I write down is purely for the arpeggios.  now, I dont know if you have picked up on this or not, but in the first bar you marked with the red, you should play the first beat with the LH, and the rest of the arpeggios are to be done with the RH.

so.. each "|" respresents the barline
--------------------
LH: 5 4 2 1 RH: 1 2 4 5 (rest) 1 2 4 5 1 2 5 | 4 2 1 4 2 1 4 2 (rest) 1 2 3 5 1 2 5 | 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 (rest)
------------------
let me know if this doesnt make sense.

Thanks soooooo much.


Yeah i figured out about the left and right hand thing but I was really unsure on some good fingerings for the right hand.

Thanks again.

no problem!  ;)
Let me know how it goes!  I found this place difficult until I started to use the Busoni fingering.
