![]() They might be able to figure out good fingerings but are they the best? ![]() I wonder how many of those that play this Prelude have even considered(not saying it's necessarily good)playing the G-Bflat-D of the opening melody as left hand octaves and playing the DGBflatD chord in just the fight hand? The advantage of using one or several fingered editions is that I think relatively few can figure out from scratch all the fingerings that are really best for their own use. Most non urtext editions of advanced works have reasonably extensive fingerings. ![]() Yet many of those works are only for the most advanced players. Another example of extremely detailed fingering is the Schnabel and many other editions of the Beethoven Sonatas. I have fairly frequently consulted various editions like those by Cortot and found fingerings that were not so commonly recommended but worked well for me(and I would not have been able to figure out). Virtually every original work and transcription by Godowsky has very detailed fingering(including for the LH)by the composer. I think as the pieces get more advanced the fingering gets more advanced. I would have thought that once someone advances beyond the earliest stage, being able to do fingerings is a pretty elementary part of what goes along with being able to play at that level - plus, as Hakki said, it's very individual and personal, so what's written in the score isn't necessarily going to be useful. ![]() When you buy a score, is it an issue for you whether it has fingerings or not?
