Piano Practice

On Wednesday I spent the whole day at work with Richard Goode's performance of the Beethoven sonata I'm learning going through my head. But that night I skipped practicing (for reasons that had nothing to do with practicing itself). Goode plays the sonata a lot faster (and better) than I can currently manage. The funny thing is that yesterday when I was practicing the sonata, I could play it noticeably faster than I could on Tuesday when I last practiced.
