Since I'm the only person in this discussion with no music education whatsoever, I find the solution extremely simple: the red notes have to go. The top stave has to be moved an octave lower (remove the ottava mark), preferably noted on the middle stave (the top one needs to go). The chords in the middle stave could also use a diet - perhaps you could reduce them by one one sound? Essentially - take the Leetchkiss arrangement and simplify it a bit...
I can see why moving it onto two staves might be easier to read, but why make the right hand go down an octave? The left hand will will need to do all the work. The red notes are already out of there. But Larry says above that its just too much for one pianist to handle that many chords. I can't really see how else to resolve it. Those midde chords need to form pungent dissonances with everything else, so I don't really know which notes I'd remove (possibly some of the fifths...) I've been playing about with the tenths a bit more, and I just don't think it will work...
I'm a bit dull in the head (as you already know). Could you specify which fifths those are (bar number(s))? And what is the problem with the flourish? I probably missed something in the earlier discussion but you can't expect a dim person like myself to go through all those long posts and actually read them...
The fifths are the bit in the score where I lazily marked 'col 5a ad lib' near the end (345). The flourish is from the double piano score, but actually isn't the same as any part found in the orchestral score. The last file I posted as an attatchment gives a suggested alternative following the woodwind parts, but its only for left hand, with tromolo cresc. in the left hand - I think it's possibly possible, but I don't know.
Next project: arranging the Bach Toccata and Fugue BMV 565 for solo cello. There's been a few violin arrangement's about, but the only one that I like isnt available for sale. So I'm making my own. I won't need help with that!
