524142 314231 (as found in the Paderewski edition alternate fingering) I count and play slowly when I first begin to play this piece, even if I can play it up to tempo, I count like: Clap,23456 Clap 23456 (the clap is mental). It's very helpful when getting them up to tempo. I found that Paul Barton's tutorial on this etude in Youtube is helpful.

(There are two parts to the tutorial, this is part one)

GOOD LUCK!!!!
