Hi everyone! I'm having some trouble with a particular excerpt from Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherezade" (see attached image). My problem is the fast, clear articulation in the altissimo range - particularly anything above high D (above the staff) comes out as either pecky, airy, too loud, out of tune, or all of the above. Overall, i can't seem to play it cleanly and, to put it frankly, pleasant-sounding. Any advice would be appreciated!
