I'd like to give this thread a bump.

Great work on this one! Surprisingly playable lol.

-m5-10 RH beat 4: I understand the removal of the thirds here to make it easier, but I actually find the parallel thirds here pretty idiomatic (and fun) to play. Up to you though.

-m1-4 LH beat 1: I agree with simplifying the LH for the rest of the sheet, but I think you could get away with adding the second 16th here on beat 1.25.

-m13/14 LH beat 4.75/1: It feels a bit misleading to me to have a tied note here; since the RH isn't occupied you could put the A in the RH and then restrike the D on beat 1 in the LH.

-Tempo could be moved down a smidge.

- thank you! And yeah, as long as they've got fast enough fingers
- I suppose I'd need a second opinion. I'm glad to hear you can play them, though I'd like to make sure they're feasible in general, y'know?
- are you sure? Performers would have to nail that repetition consistently, is that manageable at ♩ = 150?
- this leads back to the point above. Side note, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to format this lol

- personally, I like where it is

Thanks for the feedback, let me know what you think and I'll update the files where needed.

My personal rule of thumb for fast repeated notes with a single finger is that 2 in a row is fine, but anything over that is pushing it. Speaking of which, I didn't notice before but m13 has a few triple repeated notes in the RH and is pretty brutal at speed, thoughts on taking out the lower harmony there? The LH has the same notes so you wouldn't really lose any harmonic info.

Yeah I probably should have attached a picture lol. Here's what I was thinking (mockup in musescore ):
