Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your tonguing issues. My slow tongue
is the reason why I have never bothered to learn the Neilsen. (I had a hard
enough time last month playing La Mer!)

In case you aren't aware of it, Peter Hadcock wrote an article on the
Neilsen concerto. I believe it is in the book of Excerpts, etc... that his
estate just published a few months back. I was given a copy of the article
when I studied with him and I highly recommend taking a look at it.

Good luck.
