Frank,

That is up to you on how much time and effort you put forth into this piece.
Just start practicing it right now and not wondering whether if you will have this Nocturne ready or not. Attack it with gusto. Use all your skills and abilities to get this piece ready.

Best wishes,

This is absolutely the surest way to guarantee you will learn as slowly as possible. Look here for better ways: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,12590.0.html

Well its been 5 days and i have pretty much mastered the fuoco section HS at around 72-76 tempo, very intense last few days.. ive joined the first section HT and its going pretty well, cantabile section will be easy once i have this bit under control, i must admit, waayyy easier than what i expected.

the only trouble i seem to be having is trying to bring out the left hand and make it loud whilst maintaining the RH 16th notes quieter, any tips?
