Re: Will my tongue sabotage my audition?

I am prepairing for an audition as well, and among the excerpts there are the Dances of Galánta and some tricky passages from Bartók's Concerto and from Beethoven symphonies.
I practise etudes from the Kell book. I concentrate the ones with fast and light articulation, especially the 6th and the 8th. Those help me to play fast and springy staccato for a short time. After that, I practise scales and try to achive the same speed. This helps me a lot. I managed to play the Dances from Galánta in 145. Although this is 7 under the required speed, I rather play the passages clearly.
