I've been trying to teach myself this piece with some success but have been stymied by one of the passages. Just before the "blizzard" there are two fast passages with a short lead-in to the second passage which goes
"doh-doh" (half beat-one and a half beat) "doh-doh" (half beat-one and a half beat) "doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat) "doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat) "doh-d0h-doh" (half beat-quarterbeat-quarterbeat) (I sound like Homer but you get the idea)
then something that seems to be a galloping horse
I can't get the feel of this short in-between piece. If any can tell me how it should be played or has any suggestions as to how to practice it, I would be forever grateful.

First, my notes have different ryhthm. I checked several books, and the rhythm is like:
"doh-doh" (quarter beat, 3/4 beat, written as first 1 has two underlines, and the second 1 has 1 underline and a dot) "doh-doh" (same as above) "doh-doh" (same as above) "doh-doh" (same as above) "doh-d0h-doh" (quarterbeat-quarterbeat-half beat, written as first two 1s have two underlines and 3rd 1 has 1 underline) "doh-d0h-doh" (same as above)
First 4 doh-doh is from slow to fast, a build up to the new speed. Then the next two doh-doh-doh is the beginning of the new speed. I think the trick of this passage is the thumb fliping. The speed of thumb fliping must be fast enough that it sounds like quarter-quarter-half beat, otherwise it'll sound like triplet.
