Thank you, Alfred!. I've never gotten this one up to the speed I'd like to have it, so for me this etude can use all the fingering help it can get.

Here's a recording on YouTube made on a somewhat harsh sounding Bechstein with a microphone shoved down its throat:

I was caught completely off guard with this Lourie piece What a wonderful surprise vvedenskij has given us.

I was caught completely off guard with this Lourie piece What a wonderful surprise vvedenskij has given us.

I plan to be buying some notation software soon, and I think this would be a good first project for me. But if you want to beat me to it, feel free.

... from the bowels of the nypl. actually, there's another "unidentified" piano solo piece by lourie that I am planning to take a look at ...

and on the topic: I just noted that lourie's quarter tone prelude op.12-2 was uploaded to imslp (https://imslp.org/wiki/Prelude,_Op.12_N ... é,_Arthur)) as has a recording on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B4Symd_T3Q).

so, pianophiliac, I very much look forward to that first (and then perhaps second and third) project of yours ...

Finally getting around to looking at this and YES, I see some advantageous changes to my fingerings of this piece. Alfred, I guess the editors thought that the parts they didn't finger were obvious. Well, not obvious enough for me, at any rate. Thanks for finishing the job, Alfred.
