The best way to practice Variation 9 is by thinking in 8th-note beats. That way you only have to think of 2 against 3, rather than 6 against 4. And remember, the the second 16th in the left hand comes exactly halfway between the second and third 16ths in the right.
Once you work out the ratio at a slow tempo, it should be fairly easy to gradually get up to a performance speed.
A final note about this piece as a whole - it's not meant to be played fast! The most important thing is to keep a relatively steady, moderate tempo, which allows all the different rhythms and articulations to be very clear and precise. Always remember the tempo is "Allegretto", not "Allegro" as it is often (wrongly) played.
Good luck - this is a wonderful piece!
