 Re: How does one do this difficult passage up to speed?

For my part, I would actually depress the C# with my r.h. pinkie already from the very beginning of bar 63, and keep it down until the second C# note in bar 65. At least for me, this kind of use of the pinkie fingers (r.h. and l.h.) both "in advance" and depressed "as long as possible" contributes to both speed and accuracy in my finger movements - but is probably difficult to adopt in just a few weeks or even months, if you aren't used to this kind of approach already.

Then I would add the rest of my r.h. fingers from the third note (A) in bar 63, and keep them down until the last note of that bar (but as said, not releasing the C# pinkie until bar 65).

In any case, you should use your r.h. pinkie for these C# notes, not your l.h. - considering the speed.

If you aren't already used to such an independent use of your r.h. pinkie in relation to the rest of your r.h. fingers as described above, I would suggest that you depress all four r.h. fingers at the same time at the third note in bar 63, and then also release all of them at the end of that bar. This would be quicker to adopt in this particular case, but for the long run I would still suggest getting used to the above method - in any kind of similar passages. The easiest method to get used to, with more or less instantly improved speed and fluidity, would be the one in my previous post above - but that I suppose you are already applying.
