Good luck with it. I am sure you will do it fine in the end. But, remember that the important thing in life is the journey. But that finale is SO WORTH IT!

(Hint) I bet you can play any two consecutive notes as fast as you need, right?

I am going to learn this sonata in the summer. If oyu are having trouble, I do not think I will be able to do it at all Bill, thanks for the hint. I did have a teacher once who made me practice all the Galamian rhythm drills. It's a good concept. My last teacher brought me the idea of mentally grouping notes as singular actions, and then gradually bring the energies together (although I think he did a better job of explaining than I just did).

Jasmine, my forte is musicality and intonation, but playing at high speeds has always been a weakness of mine. Everyone has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Who knows, maybe you'll have fingers like lightning! ("They never strike the same place twice" is what my old college teacher would add.) Let me know how it goes, and share any good tips you get.
