Hi, I created this fingering for this passage just the other day in a hurry, so I am not sure how great it is, but it worked decently for me at the time.  I will put spaces between bars to make it easier to read.  Starting on the G my fingering for RH is 1,2,3,5,2,1,2,3,5    4,2,1,2,3,4,5,2,1,2,3,5    3,2,1,2,3,4,5,2,1,2,3,1       4,3,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2       4  (stopping on Eb).        LH starting on Bb is             5,2,1,2,4,5,4,3,2        1,3,5,4,2,1,2,3,5,4,3,2         1,2,4,2,1,2,1,2,4,2  ( i stopped writing out the fingering on this last G).       
Hope this helps

Caro, that was one of the first fingerings I attempted.  That fingering is much easier to remember than mine but I found it was really difficult for me to get from that Eb to G going from 3 to 4 at a quick tempo.  Also in the left going from 4 to 3 on the G to Bb.   But, everyone's hands are slightly different so some fingerings will work better for others.

yes,u are right. Mr....??? what´s ur name,man?
 It´s depens a lot how is your hand. In the place you just mentioned i just turn the handso the fingers goes naturally to the keys. And it helps for a nice intense legato.
oh,how do you play the first 8 chords of the concerto? my hands are too small to reach all the notes!!! :'( buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
