Yesterday evening was the penultimate day to practice variation 2 in the first cycle of Dr. Molly's spaced schedule and I made a recording of my progress. I then made the mistake of listening to a professional recording, something that I tend to avoid, and was shocked by the tempo it was being played at. I knew my tempo was slow but not that slow! The first reaction was that I couldn't possibly share this new recording.
One full cycle of the schedule spans almost five weeks. It contains twelve practice days and twenty one rest days. I cannot answer how much progress would have been made with this piece had I practiced it for twelve days in a row rather than twelve days spread over thirty three. My feeling is not as much. It is even more difficult to answer how much progress would there have been if I had practised this variation for thirty three days in a row. Surely it would have fallen into a rut. The other advantage with the schedule is that those rest days have been used to make progress on variations 3 to 6.
A link to the most recent recording is given below. Warning,if you think it is not very good at the start it gets worse in the middle. It is recorded with QuickTimePlayer. I did try Audacity but the screen was distracting me from playing.
Edit: In the original recording dated 17 June I was trying to push the tempo so I have replaced with one at a more comfortable speed.

For comparison and in reverse order are recordings after three days and six days.
