I believe (or I was Told) he uses Paganinis 24th caprice played backwards for the movie.



becker does a pretty fast version as well, but i can't remember the temp offhand
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
