Well, before you start playing, just play the arpeggios going up, then down- just engrave the feel into your mind. Remember how far up each finger is supposed to go on each key, etc. then just start playing it really fast! It doesnt matter if you mess up at first, just get strong and confident. Great impromptu by the way- is it hard? ive always wanted to play it but other songs got precidence...

no, its not that hard at all.. it just gets hard when u start wanting to play it really fast.... because of the awkward positioning of your hands in the runs.. also theres a part in the middle you might have to work on a lot to get it fast.. considering the professionals play it like double speed....
