Liszt B minor sonata
There has to be a course on this piece made in the near future. being such a monolith of a piece, I feel it would be helpful to have a course breaking it down, similar to Ohlssons rach 3 course.

Can anybody suggest the fingering of measure 25 (the end of A section)! I tried different ways, none of them is convincing, including my own Bärenreiter version. My hands are small. Appreciated!

Discussion of the Week
How many pieces do you work on at a time?
What is the "right" amount (if there is such a thing) of pieces one can work on learning at a time? I find I get bored easily if I'm only working on 2 or 3 pieces, but am I just being impatient?…
