I'm not an E-flat expert by any stretch, but if you don't already have it I
highly recommend Peter Hadcock's 'Orchestral Studies for the E-flat
Clarinet', published by Roncorp Inc., 1981. It has three pages of
fingerings indexed to the excerpts to show when to use them, some are for
technical facility but many are for better intonation.

Happy New Year
