      These type of composistions are for very gifted and advanced players. Many years of Piano study are required to play them.  Playing these, "fast" is like learning how to "type" , fast...... the more you do it, the more you can. When a player learns these, they learn one hand at a time and then they put them together.  They use a Metronome to help them to go from slow to fast.

        Hi. Not into classical music, though I appreciate the music very much, more into old style Beethoven's moonlight sonata but here you can find out how these metronome marks are played. It is a music forum
