Hi Folks,

I have been asked to play first clarinet in the Beethoven Octet. A great
honour and an exciting challenge.

There is one bit that I can't quite get my head around. In the first
movement at bar 154, the 1st clarinet has a run of 16ths. In the recording I
have of Sabine Meyer's Ensemble, she tongues this very delicately and it
sounds wonderful. However, no matter how hard I practice, I cannot get the
tonguing fast enough.

Are there any tricks to getting it working?

Thanks for any advice

Benedict
