Hung Rhap #9
on: January 13, 2005, 06:04:48 AM
Has anyone played Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9 in E-flat, "Pester Karneval"? What fingerings did you use for the third "licks" on page three (in my edition anyway)? Specifically the second one.  There doesn't seem to be an easy solution.  I feel like I'm completely faking when I get to this part.  Anyway, the rest of the piece is a riot.  Funnest piece I've ever played hands down.  Don't you just love crashy liszt pieces?
