Having a well balanced reed is crucial. A lighter reed can sometimes be helpful.

Experiment with air speed. Generally faster air is usually more conducive to this kind of leap.

A couple of practice tricks: 1) Turn the first two 16th's into an 8th note on the upper C to help establish the feel of that note at the beginning of the lick. Do this well a couple of times and then return to what it written. 2) Play the lick as written but without the register key, so in F in the lower register instead of in C in the upper. This will be much easier to play smoothly and can be helpful in modeling for yourself the final result you want.

It's a beautiful piece - enjoy!
