The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

I take it you mean the chords around the tremelo bits.

Don't think of them as leaps, just think of them as notes to be played.  Practice slowly until you nail them every time, then speed up.

Practice them without looking at your hands or the keyboard.  That may sound counter-intuitive, but will get you there faster.  Only look after you've made a mistake, to see what you did.

Not necessarily, but if you can't resist looking, that will work.

The objective is to get you playing a chord here, then a chord there rather than a chord here with a leap to another chord. It's the "leap" that kills it.
