I`m sixteen years old and have been playing since i was three years old. has anybody played the third movement of beethoven`s waldstein sonata? If so, how did you approach the octave passage in the prestissimo? I have tried the octave glissandos but cannot get them to work. Any redistribution suggestions?

practice them in rythms, practice them as broken octaves, play them slow, fast, endlessly

there is no solution besides true hardcore practice
