Recommendations on Approach?

I am at an intermediate advanced level. I first officially had a teacher in Piano Class in Middle School. Since then, I have been on my own. I have briefly had a private tutor twice over the decades, but tried to keep up with the skills I did gain in school. But I never learned much theory, which interests me a lot.

Not sure if you really needed my pianautobiography lol...

So, would you master tempo and fingering for the first two measures and then move on? Or go further, at a slow pace, master only the fingering, then go back and play all of it, more quickly as accuracy is mastered?

This piece is definitely fast for me. I don't think I've ever practiced anything this difficult before.

For other pieces, I would use the second method, but for this one, I'm concerned if I don't first master that tempo, that I will create a bad habit that is wrong.

Thanks!

Why, God, Why?! The hand-wringing... and meanwhile, I receive an email from someone in a supposedly professional position giving me, "your" for, "you're" all over the place. If it's so bad. Luke Wilson to the rescue...
