So how do YOU...

play the Bartered (Battered?) Bride Overture?

I'm currently working on it, on my new Forte' C (but that's for a separate post entirely once I've got to know it) and am building up tonguing speed (alas, something that has always been a weakness), but having heard some truly speedy performances in recent times, I'm wondering how most people cope with it.

So...a poll...

1) Tongue every note of course.
2) Work to a predetermined pattern (slur 2, tongue 2 perhaps).
3) Slur it and let other instruments worry about doing the articulation for you.
4) Something else.

I'm trying to tongue every note...but it seems to lose the lightness of feel. <sigh> back to the practise room I go.
