practice!  :D

no, really... the only technical problems are in friska - the rest is a matter of taste and ear for colors.

as for the friska, you can divide it in several parts (i don't remember how many - it's been too long since i played it), each of them presents one distinct technical problem. find it, and find the right solution (which is, if i remember well, a matter of finding the right fingering and the right moves of the wrist or the arm). once you did this, it's a piece of cake.
