Playing Mussorgsky Baba Yaga

Featured Replies

Hi Guys,

Yesterday, I've decided to start having a shot at Baba Yaga. Even though I figure that I probably won't be able to play it, I think it's still worth having a punt, since I self learn. I figure that it'll be a good way of practising some harder hand positions.

And lo and behold, I've reached a section I can't play :( http://www.free-scores.com/download-sheet-music.php?pdf=9687 Is there any chance of explaining the fingerings for me. The section I'm talking about is attached. Is there any chance of giving some suggestions about the fingerings used for the right hand, because I doubt, for example, the first chord is 5 then 1,2,4 :s

Thanks in advance :D

5 and then 124 makes sense to me. I would play it that way.

Lol, so would I. If you're crazy, you could try 1 3 5 but that just seems like your making things unnecessarily difficult.

Cheeselord, didn't you say you played this before?

Righty ho, so that's the fingering. I've spent some time working on it - boy does he like irritating arpeggios :P
