I'm Learning to play this music for about two weeks and my teacher says I'm having trouble making it clear to the listener that I'm playing it in a binary 6/4 (not sure what you call it in english).
I think I got the tempo right and I try to feel the measures and the tempo in 6/4 but other than that I'm not sure what he means or what to do about it.
Also, I'm not having much technical difficulties other than a small jump sequence in the middle and the cascading octaves where I struggle to gain fluidity rather than velocity.

So I was wondering if any of you had any advice on getting the 6/4 right and taming the octaves?
Would appreciate any help.

thanks

It's a wonderful little gem you are working on. I played the piece in concert a few months ago. The rhythm seems obvious to me, so I am not sure how to help. I think that the trick with the octaves in the left is not to rush them. The octave part is really exctatic rather than virtosistic. Once you get to climax, give you plenty of time to start with the double octaves. In my experience they sound better if played in a intense, declamatory manner rather than furioulsy. The real challenge in this piece is to work with different planes of sound and shading of colors.
