We can either Chop, or Shop, but I prefer the latter.

I'm getting a sick headache from all these spelling miscalculations

But having much fun exploring the fingering possibilities you suggest here, Alfred, in my favorite movement of the Godowsky sonata. I was hoping you'd do this movement--and very effective alternative fingerings they are, too.

Thanks for posting.

To fleubis, with compliments:

This fingered excerpt from a piano work by

Paul DUKAS

makes an excellent Etude.

I have provided a "normal" and a "crossover" version
(the latter in memory of Ferrrucccio Busoni - see conclusion of the first mvt. of his Toccata -
and Arthur Schnabel - see his edition of Beethoven Sonatas, conclusion of the last mvt. of op. 22).

Alfred, what very ingenious fingerings. The first one is really very effective, and while I've not played the Dukas variations in years, it was a joy to play through it again and play this particular variation with greater velocity thanks to your fingering. Now the 2nd one with hands crossing, would never have occurred to me and is really very surprising at how well this works. Yes, I certainly do love etudes and this variation can serve as one for both hands now. I am sure Busoni would have been delighted and will have to dig out my Schnabel to check the indicated spot.

A very worthy addition to the Alfor Fingering Series.

[alfor]

Dear fleubis,

you are welcome! I am delighted to hear that you do have some pleasure with my "fingering exercises".

I just had a look into the Beethoven-Schnabel edition, reissued by EDIZIONI CURCI ----- and was shocked
to see that they simply had omitted Schnabel's "ossia" version on the last page of op. 22.
So here it is from the original first edition (Tonmeister Ausgabe, Ullstein Verlag).

Best regards

P.S. I detected some other slight differences between the German first edition (Tonmeister, Ullstein)
and the Edizioni Curci edition - which might be by Schnabel's hand (?).

The Tonmeister-Ausgabe is from the mid 1920s, while the Curci edition was first published in 1949.
We can only hope that the slight varieties in the Curci edition are the work of Schnabel and NOT
that of an overly ambitious editor!!!
