I’d really like to thank you, because I have small hands and struggling everyday to octaves and big chords.
You tought really reasonable and I think I learned the secrets 😉
Wish you have a nice day, professor!

My attempt to sum it up:
- Sit higher
- Move your wrist
- move your elbow
- imagine the way it should sound in your mind
- focus on your thumb (more intonation in the thumb)
- think about phrasing, in some parts of the sentences you can release the tension
- learn with metronome but then eventually make the tempo something personal, depending on your internal impulse and energy
- to up the tempo, don't forget to speed up the thumb but also the elbow.

No
Master is Lang Lang, Martha argerich or cziffra' s octaves. You don't make the jumps as written and this is not the right speed. You are in the right direction but this is a simplified version...
I am sorry but we need the key for not another " I am trying to play this Liszt"
