      The only reason you can play violin faster is because the notes are closer together, but nothing about that makes it easier.
      Yea, you can see in his 4th variation and somewhere near the end, he actually played those notes slower and more evenly than the original where the first two notes of each bar was long and the rest were really fast. That's because it's really hard to pluck the strings and move your fingers across the fingerboard that fast.

    I'm so glad you played this, partly to see if it could be done, and also because I knew it would be more clear and less slurred together on a bass instead of a violin. So often it is played at a tempo that is inherently unclear to the ear. Thanks - great job!
