Fingering Flight of the bumblebee?

[davinadoom]

May have been asked before here, but what do you think is the ideal fingering for "the flight of the bumble-bee" piano version? (first note E)

[extroitus]

What version are you referring to?

[davinadoom]

I'm still trying to find out... I downloaded a free version from www. music-scores.com, but without any fingering, nor arr. names. Looks a lot like the Oborin arrangement.

I just downloaded the version from this site, arr. Rachmaninoff. Which version do you prefer?

[invictious]

This version of course:

[extroitus]

There are two really nice versions, that of Rachmaninoff and that of Cziffra. So, as Cziffra is not overly easy, I would prefer Rachmaninoff.

I would say there is a strategy choice here: Would you prefer a five finger solution or not?

Rachmaninoff and ... Cziffra.

IMO, both require ten.

I don't know if you can access the same contents of IMSLP that I can, but this one has got fingerings https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/00896

I think there are some misprints, and I think #5 should be used a little more, but by-and-large I think this rendition provides useful clues.
