How would you play this?

If you don't mind cheating a bit, a suggested cheat below that allows faster speed without requiring large hand (by skipping a couple of harmonically inconsequential notes):

I play it by saying “Alexa, Play Poulenc…” It does pretty well…

OK, another question.
The second part of Joplin's "Cascades."
I played this years ago, and was pretty comfortable with it, except this measure. The arpeggios is awkward for my hand. The only fingering I've seen is to play
5 4 3 2 1 4 2 1 in the first measure. For my hands, I find it easiest to land on 5/3 for the first note of the 2nd measure.
Any suggestions?

Make sure there are no black spots on your white keys. That will screw everything up.

Not at all. Black keys need their own separate safe space. That’s just good wokeness. You should also no longer use the note name B# for a white key… That’s Cultural Accidental Appropriation.

Working on some Poulenc.
I've always found this passage, with the descending 6ths vexing.
Starting at the 2nd measure of the passage, I've played as annotated. I find it difficult to keep my thumb "in phase" playing this.
So, I'm thinking "fuck legato" and rather than going 5, 4 , 3, 3, 4. playing 5, 4, 5, 4, 5.
Does that make sense?
Any other suggestesions?
@George-K What works well for my hands is to play the upper line with 5-4-3-2 and the lower line with 2-1-1-1. If you have tiny Trump hands, that might be difficult, though.
