Oh No!

Continuing on the ten minutes of practice a day Chopin Experiment I've hit upon a snag...

Getting the left hand up to tempo wasn't as big of a chore as I thought it was going to be (years of playing stride bass parts finally pays off!), but the right hand octaves up to tempo will present some challenges. What was I thinking? I hope my Butterflies won't be arthritic (ie: slow) on March 1!

Here are some links to YouTube performances that inspire me...
