Ryan--

Get a copy of Tom Ridenour's Clarinet Fingerings, published by Leblanc,
which gives eight fingerings for altissimo A. Everyone should have this
book. Well, everyone who plays clarinet.

Good luck,

In mm 4, measure ~106 (some editions vary) there is an altissimo A, what
are some alternative fingerings to make this more in tune. I know three,
but none of them seem to complete the phrase... They are all WAY too flat.
It sounds almost like a quartertone. What are some alternate fingerings
for this?

Thanks,
