It averages 10.1 notes per second against a peak of 12.7, so the busiest bar is barely harder than the rest and there is nowhere to recover. The left hand carries 70% of the 1,468 notes, which is the opposite of what most players practise. The notes run F1 to C7, 5.6 octaves, which is past what a 61-key board reaches at one end or the other. Klaviero rates it tier 5 of 5.
