OK, I'm close enough to set a target: 100 bpm. I can play the beginning of this variation fast enough to really bring out the melody (which is in the jumping right hand, recall). The second half of this first half feels like it's speeding up, I guess just due to its difficulty, so I'm not there yet all the way through. By the way - I think I said 120 bpm yesterday. That was a lie; the beat is on a quarter here but I was putting the beat on the 8th, so I was actually playing 60 yesterday. Today is 76, and that's all the way through without any major errors. At this rate I'll have the first half in 2 more days. In the meantime, I guess I need to start looking at the second half, which will almost certainly be harder than the first.
