Schumann concerto w/o orchestra in f, op. 14: suggestions for learning?

[celticqt]

This past lesson I was assigned a Schumann piece - I am wondering if any of you have played his Concerto w/o orchestra in f minor and might have suggestions/advice/opinions for me.  From the way my teacher was talking, I got the impression that this is going to be a stretch for me and I am trying to gather any help I can.  I ordered it online and it should be here by Friday.  This will be my first experience with Schumann, so I will appreciate and consider any and all comments! Thanks to all you wonderful people out there.
