Yes, be careful in the last movment that you are playing all of the right notes. (duh) What I mean is there are many accidentals that were left out, and accidentals that should have been refreshed into the next measure that were not. For the most part, the piece should sound melodic, and if you are playing any notes that sound too far out of place, start assuming it's a misprint.
Also, be very careful about line at the top of the last page. The leaps from d to g to a are botched by almost everyone. it takes a while to hear the right intervals there. Don't think of those notes as being an arpeggio, but more like a medium note, followed by two high notes.
The contrasting section in the middle of the last page should be played like an argument between good and evil.
Hope this helps, you've picked one of the best unaccompianed pieces out there.
