“This fingering/hand grouping lets the hands move at different times to play the sextuplet, according to where the lines appear in the groupings. For left hand, hold thumb and release the lower note of the third, and 4 and 5 can find the next minor 2nd easily, letting your eyes focus on the right hand's jump at the same time.”

“Taking the final G-sharps as an octave lets the left hand prepare for the next measure slightly earlier. Every little moment helps, and it’s easier to stagger the position shifts in the left and right hands.”

“I redivide the notes between the hands several times in this section. The hand crossing in m. 37 is awkward as written, so I take the upper C-sharp in left hand. In m. 39, the top notes of the lower staff can be taken in the right hand, and the Cs can be taken as an octave in the left hand in m. 40.”

“Silently transferring the D-flat in m. 77 from the right hand to the left hand lets the chord sustain while allowing the right hand to position itself for what follows.”

“I find it easier to start the left-hand octaves in m. 544 and keep them through the down beat of m. 547. Taking the Cs as octaves in mm. 549 and 552 allows the left hand move to its new position earlier.”
