Like the story image from Mr. Williamson, it's much easier to get into this excerpt piece.

[@pablodevadderclarinete]

see how, when he plays high G, he add pinky F/C, I think, to flat that G that tends to be a little sharp. And look the fingering for high D too!

[@thelookingcat]

The high D is a backless fingering, it's to make the note's color match more with thumb C. G does tend to be sharp on Buffets, but on Selmers it usually isnt (he uses a Selmer Signature), he uses the pinky to prevent it from becoming bright and still allow him to voice higher, in preparation for the higher notes as well as to maintain air speed.

Bb or A Clarinet??

[@thelookingcat]

A clarinet, the Dances of Galanta is a standard A Clarinet excerpt

[@Clarinet69]

Surprising coming from the principal clarinetist of the chicago symphony...
