In the finale, practice it very slowly, make sure you use good wrist action and finger it properly. Eventually you will get it up too a good speed (assuming you have the technique to play it up to speed)

Learn it by gaining technique, musical knowledge, musical insight and spending enough time and patience for getting all this.


I suppose this is pretty generalising, but youre also asking a very generalised question ;)
I'd advice you to ask more specific things, so we can help you better.
