For piano players
To play this properly I would rate this transcription right up with La Campanella (Liszt) and Winterwind (Chopin) due to the large jumps and the melody being played by alternating thumbs which takes some time to learn. Best advice for anyone giving it a try is to memorize the virtuoso parts each hand separately and not trying to make sense of it. Just looking at the score doesn't make sense until you can comfortable put both hands together.
