We should go back to your original post where you set up the contrast between Goodman, who "was always practicing" and Rich, who "never" practiced. There's a huge difference between someone who is "always practicing" and someone who practices a moderate amount each day to keep everything in place. Morales may be an obsessive practicer, or maybe, like Don Liuzzi, he has a routine of an hour or so just to keep technically fresh without overdoing. Heifetz didn't in his fabled comment about daily practice, apparently, say how much time he spent each day. Daily practice is probably more the rule than the exception. "Always practicing" is more likely the rule among students and young players whose careers aren't yet established and who are still learning what older, more established players once had to learn the same way.
