I didn't include a tempo marking but I should clarify that the tempo is fast 
enough that the tremolo would probably be too difficult to play with one hand.  
Throughout the piece the emphasis is on the alternating hand pattern with the 
melody in the "right half" of the right hand (You can hear the piece at 
http://curtsiffert.com/anelusivesweetness ) 

I was thinking the fingering would help to communicate that idea, but maybe the 
cross-staving helps to communicate that enough.
