Le Preux, question

[nicorubio09]

Hi everyone!
I'm learning Le Preux from Charles Valentin Alkan, and I have no clue how this part is meant to be played. I haven't three hands.
I need help.

Do you have a theory of how you might do it?

Hint: the clefs do not necessarily imply hands, just where on the piano notes you are supposed to play are.

Yes, I think you have to "arpeggiate" (for example, in the first case) the B with the F# D F# as fast as you can and continue with the octaves. Do you know the answer?

You arpeggiate the first octave, B-B, plus the notes on the middle clef, F#-D-F#, then jump back down to continue the octave series.  This is indicated by the arpeggiation squiggle covering all those notes.
Not sure what the tempo is but it looks difficult!

I thought the same, but I see that people leaps using the right hand...

If it were my piece I would definitely be trying all the options, and deciding which works best for me.
There's no ONE way to play it, amigo.
But the composer is clearly indicating what he thinks the pianist should do.
