Re: Group 2
@Gail Starr Yep that is right, the bookend notes technically don't induce speed improvement, it is that 2 note group in the middle where the speed really is!

Re: Group 3
@Conrad Winn This is correct! Stick to the fingering that is the "core fingering" and do not switch the fingering! The whole point is to find the "friction" points, and practicing "ironing them out!"
