If you played Fantasie Impromptu comfortably in tempo I think you can manage the Moonlight 3rd movement. For me, the Fantaisie Impromptu is slightly harder than the Moonlight but I think it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. What else have you played recently?

If you've played FI, you already had a taste of the Moonlight 3rd movement, at least one bar of it anyway.   ;)  After you sightread through Moonlight you may discover a little familiar surprise.

The Moonlight uses different patterns than FI (mostly).  Extended passages of broken chords, Alberti bass, tremolos.  If you can manage the tempo of FI, the Moonlight 3rd is likely to be within your reach. 

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
