Odd groupings for multiple tongue

[nonchalant]

What different groupings are our there in the repertoire that use/require different groupings of double/triple tongue. OR perhaps examples that are better served with mixed tonging groupings? (This could include mixing TTK and TKT)

What I am thinking of would be something like Histoire, or the triple tonguing part of Scheherazade.

What other different examples exist?

There are times you can just a trick or two to make a passage easier to articulate.

One is that Stravinsky was perfectly happy for the royal march quintuplets to be slurred - this was his instruction. So that one is done and dusted.

Apart from the two options for triple tonguing, it is only where you place the ‘T’ and the ‘K’ movements.

A very fast grace note can be part of a double tongue (or just played on the beat so strongly the rest of the orchestra follows 😈 ) you can double tongue two triplets, as a group of 3 duplets, etc. 5, 7, etc note groups can all be eased with some judicious rearranging of your tongue.

There are far too many potential examples to list. Plus, they can all be played by someone else with a standard articulation just fine...

Better to relax and open some popcorn. Aren’t the fireworks about to start?

Cheers
