Fingering Rachmaninoff sonata 2 movement 2
on: May 07, 2025, 10:34:39 PM
Hello, I am wondering about what fingering I should use for the fast sextuplets in this section. I use 543212 at the minute but see others doing 545321. This is very uncomfortable for me and I can’t seem to get it up to speed. (Sorry for the blurry photo)

I use 154542 154542 but have never tried these alternatives.
I think a thumb on the beat is useful to maximise loudness and emphasise the beat with the LH? To me this passage should be thunderous - all the bells tolling together.
I am more concerned with what your back is doing - giving it all you've got?
You mean you can;t play it like this:
i=xlPSg1C1NLLPhleO
or even this?
Break a string.
i=p7al6Hj0IqLNPzqi
Some of Horowitz's notes are correct, some are even in the right order, but the overall impression is tremendous.
