Hello great gods and goddesses of the piano!

I'm studying this devilish piece and I wonder what do you think of it and what kind of advices you could give me. I have small hands and I'm having a hard time mostly on the right hand of the prestissimo part and the left hand at the begining. My exam is in 2 weeks and I'm a little bit nervous! Undecided (also chopin's op. 25/3 is a little bit unconfortable)

Thank you!
Carla

RH - Shake, play more with the arm not the fingers. 

Might be helpful to lookup Bernhards post on thirds as the technique is similar.

Two weeks is kinda short to play that kind of stuff  Shocked. You must be very advanced.
I'm not there yet, far from that. I just wish you luck. Don't think too much about the small hands or it will get on your confidence. Just find the right way to compensate, you can do it.

I'm not that advanced, I started to study this on January and had already played it in public, but a little bit slower. I just wanted to gain more speed... I'll try quantum's tip!

Thank you both!  Wink

For the Chopin the ideal speed for my taste is actually the 120 marked on the score. If you can manage it at that, no need to change, IMO. Just take care of rendering that suggestion of horse-gallop by a properly regular beat and putting the accent on the right places.
The Scriabin can work well with a slower tempo as well. Prioritize clarity and power rather than speed. It might be dangerous to force a speed-up in a short delay like this.

I can do the 120 marked except for the 32nd notes (I believe this is the english name for what we portuguese call "fusas"), those are a real trouble for me... I'm not very good technically (mostly because when I turned 18, I went to the university to study economics, stopped totally with the piano and re-started after 7 years of zero study), so these little things are big obstacles for me... On the other hand, too much work as an accompanist took me a great deal of time for study this year.  Huh
I'm trying to do my best for the exam, but I know that it will not be as good as it should.

Thank you once again for your valuable help!
