I'm studying this piece for about 2 months. There are lots of things to do to improve. Your comments are welcome.

This is not half bad for two months... It is still a bit choppy, though. I find that after I play a piece of this length and complexity a few times before a live public and get the monkey off my back, so to speak, I gain a lot more confidence and the playing tends to become more fluid. Do you have opportunity to perform it before a friendly public?

I have to agree . very nice so far for just 2 months on this.  I should only be so lucky to get pieces in this good a shape this fast. :). I myself tend to do a good deal of score study before I tackle a piece. Does your 2 months consist of any studying of the score away from the keyboard? I am sure as you get more into this piece your artistic vision will grow as you start to work out the finer details. Looking forward to hearing you again soon.
