Great piece, we've done this a lot. I hope you have an incredible E-flat player!

I use a two-speed method for fast technical passages like this.

SLOW: This is the predictable thing to do. Set a metronome speed so low that you quite literally can't play a wrong note. If that's painfully slow, then so be it.

FAST: Practice minuscule chunks up to speed. How minuscule? As much as you can do, perhaps 2 to 3 notes at a time. When you get small chunks under the fingers, chain chunks together. For example, a set of 4 semiquavers, then practice the next 4 until each is reliable on its own. Then play 8 semiquavers. Work your way through.

This seems slow but in the context of a 1-hour practice session, you will make significant progress. Good luck!
