Need help with Fingering on Horowitz piece
on: April 14, 2015, 03:04:16 PM
Hi, I'm working on Horowitz's version of Danse Macabre and I'd like to hear your fingering recommendation for these 2 bars.

Check the image below, in green is the fingering I found but it still feels awkward to play, considering you have to play this part at lightning speed.

Thank you for your help.
