I've never seen this story with a reference to how much Heifetz practiced each day. I wonder, even if daily, how much and what he routinely practiced when he was on tour and playing concerts nearly every night.

Then there is the story Ormandy told of a run-out to New York (I forget if they did those on Monday or Tuesday) after a concert series in Philadelphia (ending on Saturday night) by the Philadelphia Orchestra that had included performances by Fritz Kreisler. As the concert time approached, Kreisler had not yet arrived. He came running in at the last minute. Ormandy asked if everything was alright. Kreisler opened his violin case, confirmed that no strings had broken on the fiddle since he had last played it a couple of nights earlier, and assured Ormandy all was well.
