Daily piano tip #2.

If there is something in a piece of music you can't play or are having trouble understanding, there are always two things you can do to it:

1. Play it slower.

If necessary, you can end up playing at one beat per minute. Once you find a tempo that you can play something at, however slow it is, you can always speed up gradually from there.

2. Break it up into smaller pieces.

Even the most difficult piano music is made up of individual notes, you can break the music into pieces following musical patterns, or the sequences of the movements you make to play them. In the end, you can end up with single isolated notes. However small the fragments are, start joining them again once you are comfortable.
