#How to play arpeggiated chords with forte

I can include a video of me trying it later. What I’m struggling to do right is keep the notes loud enough without hurting my hand (with my right hand) or making it look awkward (with my left hand)
I have tried using the middle pedal to sustain it and it kind of helps but because I don’t play it loud enough in the beginning it doesn’t sustain for long enough
get used to the fingering and motion of playing it arrpegiated by just constant repitition and since it is forte you should be able to play it for the 8 beats
a vid would be nice to hear what you're struggling on rn, no pressure to get it out quick tho take your time
So I spoke with some other pianists and they said based on how the song sounds, playing it as an arpeggio makes more sense.
I’ll probably record myself playing the treble clef part both ways today and post it here. I’m at school right now, so I can post it after I go home in an hour or two.
I think the way the music notation was written confused me and I was like… that feels wrong but I don’t know
you could try some pedal
other than that, if your problem is your hands being tense after playing the chord, you don't need to apply much force on the keys once they're pressed down
keep the 1 2 4 5 fingerings but turn your hand as you roll the chord
or ig 1 2 3 5 works too
i mean when i said you have to play it arrpegiated it means you need to play it quickly in quick succession
