yep - they're not easy - start slow, very slow and gradually increase your velocity (use a metronome so you keep even groups of semiquavers/16th notes).

what exactly are you having trouble with? articulation? diminuendo while you articulate? The technique of the arpeggios?
using a softer reed helps me with this excerpt cause it's easier to articulate.
But like diz said, take it slow and increase the speed when you feel comfortable with it.
Good luck!

A few thoughts: this piece is about as vertical as it gets, rhythmic precision and a solid, unwavering tempo is crucial. Be vigilant not to compress your figures, they must be evenly spaced and in tempo right on the beat (not slightly behind or ahead). Build and shape arpeggios and 4-bar phrases from the "bottom up". That is, place a slight accent on the first beat of the measure and when ascending on an arpeggio. This accent can also be in the form of a virtual accent where you think it but don't play it...doing this also aids in stabilizing your internal clock. Help the music help you by using downbeats as interpretative "arrival and launching points".
If the snag is technique you might have to starting including arpeggios (or more often) into your daily routine, at various tempos and all 12 keys. The good news is ALL fundamentals are progressive; once mastered, muscle memory presides and technique flows more naturally and effortlessly. Good luck. v/r KEN

My similar problem with this is mostly due to unevenly played intervals, some faster than others so the tongue and fingers are not coordinated. The slow practice is good so you can detect just where the inaccuracies exist and work to correct them.

Don't forget the old standby of finger-and-tongue-coordination practice!
"Bonade" aka "Fingers Ahead" articulation!!!!
Very necessary for this piece!
