I have only once actually used this method (it can be tedious!), and was surprised to be able to play the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata at the written tempo for long passages. By slowly ratcheting the speed, I actually got to a point where my perception of time changed and the metronome didn't sound that fast. | |

Start at a very slow tempo, play it perfectly then put the metronome up 4 bpm. Play again, put the metronome down 2 bpm, up 4 etc. until you get to your desired tempo. It takes time but I have found it to be very effective. | |

That is the fastest speed I am perfect at so it makes sense that I would want to speed up. I wonder if I am thinking of this all wrong. I wonder if thinking of the sixteenth notes as trills and connecting them will help more than trying to speed up the whole thing. Maybe I only hit this roadblock because I am trying to speed up the whole thing and wouldn't hit it if I thought of it as trilling throughout. | |
