Well, he probably could not reach the keys.

audio:
RACH plays Schumann's Carnaval
(One of his musically most convincing recordings, imho.)[/b]

[fleubis]

Thanks for the Rach additions. I greatly enjoyed R's rendition of Carnival. He plays with such great clarity of intent, and always finds hidden things to emphasize.

Dear Alfor,

thanks as always for all scores and fingerings ... all the effort ....

No, I didn't know this photo of "myself"
Thank you very much!!

Have a nice Sonntagabend!

Thanks for the "Rach 3,1 fin.fgd" .... just now adding in these replacement pages. Happily (and for once) I can say that I am well familiar with those Rach fragments.

Nice pix of Busoni.

P.S.
Rach 3,1 page 36, bars 12 & 14, left hand, upper voice
1 - 2 (instead of 2 - 1; matter of choice)

page 37, bar 5, left hand:
the „3“ slightly got out of place: it of course refers to the last note in the bar!

[alfor]

Final (?) hairs to be split:

RACH 3,1 page 37, bar 9, second half, right hand:
C sharp: 2, E: 4

bar 11, second half, bar 12, first half, right hand:
some may prefer to play the F with 3 (instad of 4)

Bars 6 to 8 have some double-stemmed notes. Imho these are intended to be heard
as a sort of melodic structure and to be continued over the whole page.
Nevertheless all pianists make this page a swirling mush of sound.
Same problem with the beginning of Schumann's Kreisleriana!!
