Mephisto Waltz - Listz

[enophxesther]

Newbie here!

Two weeks ago, I attended a master-class as a performer along with 5 other performers (the teacher's from Hungary, I believe the name is Adam Gyorgy or something).

So what I want to talk about, I heard one of the performers play Liszt's Mephisto Waltz and I was amazed by the beauty of his music (the technique, the melody, the structure) though the performer himself didn't play too good 

Then after I went home I was like, "I wanna play that music!!". So I started practicing it. So far, it has been bed of roses until the staccatissimo part with octave leaps on the right hand part. The rhythm is a bit tricky because at times, the chords on both hands are played alternately and simultaneously. Any helpful tips/comments?

So far that's my only major problem, considering that accuracy is one of biggest flaws. Btw, I'm 15 and my hand is as small as 1/3 of a normal computer keyboard (without stretching). Aaargh
