Fingering for the piano part of Beethoven's 'Frühlingssonate'

[thesixthsensemusic]

Hi, does anybody know if there's an edition of this piece with fingerings? Got the Schott version original, and Breitkopf &Härtel's edition by means of photocopy but neither of them has any fingerings, and neither does the IMSLP version.

Thanks!

Try the Henle Urtext edition, edited by Sieghard Brandenburg with fingerings by Hans-Martin Theopold (piano) and Max Rostal (violin). Be careful, though, because the fingerings by Mr. Theopold are often quite anti-pianistic! (I even suspect he is not a professional pianist).

Thanks for the suggestion, shame on me haha really should have thought of that myself, being a Henle sheet music collector (only have piano solo works tho)..... in the Beethoven sonatas books of Henle I generally found the fingering logical, but it took a while to work it out because they tend to only indicate fingerings at notes on which you have to interrupt the natural movement of a hand up or down.

BTW don't worry about the violin fingerings, my mom's playing that part and is, unlike me, a professional musician, and has been playing this sonata for 35 years, she'll be just fine
