Playing in the altissimo requires the opposite of what human nature urges one to do; it requires that one be MORE relaxed and play with MORE air pressure than less. When I finally figured this out and was able to start applying it, it made altissimo so much more pleasurable and fun and sounding much better.
Enjoy those challenging pieces! Word of advice, save some of them, and pull them out next year in January and see just how much easier they are after a year of practice! It's always nice to see the improvement.
And practice your longtones up in the altissimo as well. The more you do it, the more comfortable you'll get.
