Hi All:
The attached passage is taken at 104 bpm when performed (if not, of course practiced slower.)
The 32nd notes at the end are really throwing me for a loop to play accurately, and on meter, at anything pushing 60 bpm.
I have tried most of the tricks I know, psychological or otherwise to get this under my fingers. One trick I may have not fully exploited, I admit, is enough patience. It may take weeks sitting with the metronome, slowly bumping it up.
I have broken the passage down, I have practiced the 32 notes in isolation. I have made arpeggio practice out of the 32nd notes, I have memorized it, I have left out and introduced notes, but the bottom line is I can't rely on the entire passage's accuracy beyond 60 bpm.
Of course I could (by mathematical definition) take the 16th notes at 120--it's those 32nd's though that force me to slow down the meter.
I've even considered playing the first few and last few notes of the arpeggio, I'm not sure anyone would even notice but me, but it's not my preferred method of addressing this.
Any strategies you might be able to offer would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
