How difficult is it?
The individual figures are easy, their number is not. The right hand runs almost continuously in semiquavers.

The build tempts you into speeding up. It comes from volume and density, not from tempo.
How long does it take?
Two to four months.
A rule of thumb, not a rule – how fast it goes depends on prior experience and practice time. This level is an assessment, not a measurement: most pieces exist in arrangements ranging from heavily simplified to concert level. The rating refers to the common arrangement.
Which instrument suits it?
Asks for stamina and a light action. Full 88 keys, because the figures travel across the whole width.
