I've been working on single tonguing. How fast is "good", i.e., how many beats per minute playing lengthy stretches of 16ths? What do good players achieve?
The staccato section of the Nielsen is 32nds @ 72 bpm, which would be 16ths @ 144. Recordings by Drucker, Frost, Bliss, and others come close to that.
At what point would one begin to devote time to multi-tonguing? If one could handle 16ths @ 144 single tonguing, what pieces require more speed, possibly necessitating multi-tonguing?
