Um... no. Didn't even have the sheet music out while I was playing. I 
can't read anywhere near that fast. It takes me a minute or two to 
decode each note by counting up or down from the A-line.

As an aside, the top line alone has 32 notes per bar. Surely no human 
being can actually *read* that fast. Indeed, just glancing at your 
fingers to check they're in the right place would take several notes' 
duration. So I'm not sure how it's physically possible to read this 
music at the same time as playing it.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this piece of music is only 
playable at all because it's quite repetative and structured...

You're probably right about that.

There are some amazing key changes in the latter parts of the tune; I 
just wish I hadn't got such big pauses in there. (It's HARD though!) On 
some of the takes, those pauses are almost non-existent (but I stuffed 
up somewhere else instead). Ho hum!
