Learned but later to apply

Hello,

During the next weeks I learnt and tried to fix some faults in my playing: tempo and differentiating voices.

With tempo I finally used the metronome, I learnt how to use it to give the rythym in the pieces.

About voices, I understood that I have to play some keys softer than others.

I think I can fix them by the time, but this week I have a recital and I have some difficulties to fix the pieces on time.

These are the pieces I will play:

Claire de Lune - Debussy
Intermezzo - Manuel M Ponce

With Claire de Lune I have many things to fix like playing smoothly at some parts and use a second pedal.  Also there are parts where I have to fix my fingering.

In Intermezzo the second part where I have to pass the first voice to left hand instead of the right one.

Is there a way I can fix the fingering and the "administration" of the voices in short time?, or I should just concentrate on not stop playing even if it is not correct to the music sheet?

A lot of people freeze up in recitals because they have trained themselves to stop  at the first mistake.  Bad idea, IMHO. On the other hand, making the same mistake over and over is very bad.  I circle the mistake in pencil, if my teacher didn't already.  Then I play that one measure over and over, as slowly as necessary to play it correctly every time.  If necessary, I break it back down to right hand alone, left hand alone, if that is what it takes to play the difficult measure correctly over and over again.  when it is correct, you can speed up.  Then maybe you can play that 8 measure (or whatever leghth) phrase correctly over and over, faster and faster.  Then you are ready to try the piece as a section or a whole again. 
Sometimes reading the score at speed is the problem.  Where that is a problem, I'll write the name of the top note above it or something, to give myself a heads up as I come up on it.  The rest of the notes should be obvious from the  chord structure (after you've played enough chords and arpeggios in theory class).
