I learned the first page today (20-30 minutes). Got used to the left hand fingering and can play both hands close to at tempo. But I need to remind myself to slow down and really focus on the details. I don’t have much time to practice anymore (probably no more than 2.5 hours/week), but I can divvy the piece up into chunks and be able to learn it within 2 months. Normally, I try to learn as much as possible (rushed) and the final result is, not surprisingly, far from good.

The good news is that this piece sounds a lot harder than it really is.
