Can any of you play this, because i can't even play the first line.

I can do about half of the first line but not the end bit of it (the first line). Have any of you got any tips coz my fingers just get twisted and the music is not as "sharp " and "pin-point" as it should be.

Do it very very slowly at the beginning, you will find it very easy.

What do you mean your fingers get twisted? Start off with the right fingering so the very first bar in right hand will be 43245 and as kerropi suggested play very slowly. When working out the fingering you have to make sure that your hand maneouvres comfortably and that you don't 'run out of fingers' at one time.
Make sure you can 'feel' the notes solidly under your fingers; make sure you are pressing firmly and not just 'stroking' the keys.
And also listen and strive for eveness in the semiquavers always-you know when you are going too fast for yourself when you experience losing control of your fingers and they 'run' off and do not sound even.
Once you play and learn the notes thoroughly, speed will gradually come.

So keep going for it and you will learn it!

i love this piece! i can play a bit but not at the speed it should go!

I can play it! It's fun! Practise lots of Handel songs as apparently they have odd fingering. Also, the trick is to sort of adjust your hand to the trend of the music: whenever there are accidentals, your hand is always pointing in a 'north-west' direction (if that helps and if you get what I mean). I not really sure, I sort of played it straight off, but then again, I have odd fingering officially, as the the examiner wrote on my music results "Perculiar fingering" for scales. I just can't get it quite right, but it still sounds okay I suppose. Start slow and you can soon become faster. I find that when I'm trying to increase speed of my pieces, I use a metronome, play it at a speed I can play it perfectly, and then increase it by 2 and practise until it sounds perfect, and then repeat this process untill I'm content with the speed.
