And if you don't know how to slap-tongue ...
I recommend starting with just a reed. Lay it flat on your tongue and flex the tongue to "cup" the reed in a suction grip. Now lean over and see if the reed falls out of your mouth. Once you get the hang of keeping it on your tongue, stick it on the mouthpiece.
Form your embouchure as usual. Apply the same suction technique, pull on the reed, and release. The sound of slap-tongue (fundamentally) is the reed bouncing back to hit the mouthpiece. Some think it is easier to add a short burst of air to the technique at first to make getting the "pop" easier. One day, it'll hit you like a ton of bricks and you'll be able to do it forever. Good luck!

Thank you !
The recording I have of the conserto isn't so good..
The guy playing it just play them as regular notes.
Hope it isn't very difficult to learn. I'm going to play the Larsson consert on a audition for a consert so i have to be able to play it before then, but it's about 5 weeks before the auditions so i hope it won't be a problem..
By the way is it good to be able to play the Larsson consert at a age of 15 (soon 16)? But I'm only playing the II and III part because there is a timelimit.
And it's weird my teacher didn't know that symbol becouse he's really good and knows alot of things, but he's mostly a clarinettist (I play the clarinet for him to), but he plays the saxophone well to.

To hear some slap examples, here's a recording of Christian Lauba's "Jungle." Not by me. The slap-tongue in this etude is rather fast and prolific -- don't expect so much speed for awhile.
