Any suggestions, Bernhard?

Free advice, anyone? 

Bernhard, I note you are very good at communicating.  As a veteran (meaning old lady  :D) Mozart player (amateur) who mostly has done stuff from the Baroque through Romantic era, I have assayed to start work on the Shostakovich piano/trumpet concerto. 

This is a big departure for me, and I'm rather daunted as I begin to learn it.   :o I'm good at runs and speed, etc--but the 20th century sequences and harmonies are--well, not exactly falling under my fingers like Mozart.

Suggestions as to how to go about it without getting terminally frustrated?

Thanks!--Teresa
