hahaha, glad it sounds impressive, thank you! :D;;; (secretly, that virtuoso bit falls in this sort of weird ground where it's actually even HARDER than it sounds lol. like... playing a fast run hasn't specifically been my problem, historically, but most pieces i've played fast runs in are ones where all the notes lie within the key, and they follow some familiar "you've played this a million times" kind of pattern, a scale or an arpeggio or what not. so ordinarily it's no problem playing "that, just fast & well"... but man the run in this song is REALLY WEIRD; it doesn't follow any kind of familiar pattern, it has tons of notes outside the key, it has a lot of REALLY WEIRD switches in direction, and it requires a ton of REALLY AWKWARD FINGERINGS where my piano teacher and i were just squinting at it and she's like "i think you have to play it like this, sorry, there's just no better way" and i'm like. rip. I GOT IT THO & i'm gonna get even better at it hell yeah)
