I haven't learned to use my fire extinguishers (I know - super dumb) yet or my very unusual trap door.

Unusual trap door?

Fire extinguishers have become extremely easy to use. Latest ones I was trained on, you:
Pulled a locking ring to release a pin
Pointed nozzle at fire
Squeezed lever
The powder type spray dealt with all types of fire.

(No more turning a big heavy cylinder upside down for water spray
No thoughts about not holding the funnel for icy pressurised gas)

Nice change. Three months ago we gave Sky (70Mbs on the old BT landline) the boot and got Youfibre (1800Mbs), fingers crossed the service has been perfect.
I get the feeling the latest router makes as much difference as the increased speed(unless you have a high speed cable from the router into your computer device).

I'd add that in bar 27 the second arpeggio in the right hand may be better played fast using 2/1/2 then 3with5 rather than slipping over 1/2/4 then 3with5. I'll choose what feels better when its up to speed. Such is the learning process.

Quite interesting is if you play the first page, 9/8 time signature, counting each bar as 123, 223, 323, and fit the notes... strictly, exactly.

Bars 27 & 28

Bars 29 &30

I'm playing as the score as written, bars 27 and 28 both start with 4 notes left hand, then 3 and 3 in the LH.

You are more than capable of learning it.

I have never played it. But, I'm pretty sure I could learn it. I have been so focused on Chopin over the past year that I feel like I should move on to a different composer.

What Chopin are you playing?

Yes.
I'd be surprised if the linked music and the Henle have many differences in fingering. There's usually an accepted best way for fingers.

(e.g. no matter how big your left hand, arpeggios will need a certain finger next over your thumb in preparation for the continued run.
Although the lowest note may be played with 5 or 4 if hands are big and it helps flow.

And in the right hand for thirds, where all hand sizes will find a run easiest with the same fingering depending on how black notes fall, and what's to be played next)

Re fingering, I spent an hour at the dining table adding numbers to various notes (on the third(?) day of practising it) copying from the free music link; then another hour playing it & pausing to add more.
Worth the effort.

Trust your teachers.

What grade have you passed & how long ago?

I'd add, the bars are quite repetitive regarding fingering...
And the fingering on the free music I limked on the other thread works well

Number 8 is sharks, they kill less than ten people a year.

Ok its not a perfect list.
Hippos getting 500 was a surprise, I know they are perpetually irritable animals, but who ventures close enough to such a big angry thing

German

Nope.
Number one is (female) mosquitos who spread malaria.
Two is people killing people.
Four is dogs & rabies.

What animals kills most humans each year, ranked 1-8
Guess what number 8 is an how many of us it kills annually:

The folly immediately reminded me of 15th century Peel Towers built along our Scottish border areas.
The house, a behemoth.
