learning Prokofiev Op. 75 No. 5 - Masks (Masques)

[pianistavt]

Has anyone learned this piece?
It looks really tricky - how to distribute the notes between the hands.
I rarely look for a piano coach/teacher, but this is a case where I think it would save time to work with someone who has figured out and mastered this piece.

I have not played it, but my spontaneous thought looking at the sheet music would be to play it as written. Prokofiev was a great pianist and certainly knew what he was doing when he notated his music.

The problem with him being a great pianist is that some of his stuff is BLOODY difficult to play.

Yes, I think I just need to dive into it and figure it out, perhaps ask specific questions.
Would be cool to find someone who's played it, though.
