Chopin 28 no.3

[i_m_robot]

Anyone have any ideas on how to bring this piece up to a vivace esque tempo?

Practice with a teacher watching you do it correctly. If you can't do it maybe it's too hard for you.

Nevermind self has figured it out

Left hands fingering is of course crucial. The pattern of left hand reminds quite a lot of Chopin's etude 10 no.12.
Check the fingering of the prelude from www.sheetmusicarchive.net which in my view is very valid.

Damn been playing with the  5-2-1-3-2-3-5 fingering suggested by the Mikuli whatever edition

you really think the 5-2-1-4-3-4-5 is better

This is very important question

Obviously, an excellent/inspirational teacher. But in addition to that, when I was learning this piece back-when, I got the Cortot edition of Op. 10. Not for the music (I'm happy with Mikuli), but for the practice suggestions and mini-exercises. Some of those you might figure out for yourself, but at my stage, then, it was really valuable. So much so that I bought his Op. 25 volume, and still use both...regularly.

It works better for me but I cannot decide without seeing you play what will work best for you. And perhaps not even then.
I think you should try both fingerings and seek for the best solution. Take your time and give both a chance.
