Piano In the hall of the mountain king

So I recently got into piano a little more than usual and I wanted to learn the song called In the hall of the mountain king. It's a really good song but it is really hard to learn on the piano. I had already learned how to play Pachelbel with arpeggio left hand. It's like a 5 minute song and it goes really fast at times, I really love it. So then I start to play the new song In the hall of the mountain king. It's not too hard at the start but after a minute or so it gets really hard and it goes really fast! It would be a lot easier with like four hands :) I think it will be hard to get done but in the end it will sound incredible and I will be glad I stayed with it and kept playing it. I also started learning a song called I Heard Him Come, It's a very good song, and I like it too. My grandpa really loves the song In the hall of the mountain king so I think it will make him very happy if I learn the entire song. The song was composed by Edvard Grieg. It starts out very low and slow then it gradually starts getting faster until you can barely play it that fast unless you are on fast forward :b.  My dad is teaching me the song and he is the best teacher ever, I play by ear and don't know how to read music but I don't have to because I can pick it up by ear.
