Subj: [kl] On purpose?

I'm accustomed to thinking of 'squeaks' as being shrill and ugly.
Tonight something happened to my embouchure for a few moments, and I
mistakenly played several of measures of beautifully-toned upper
register notes (a twelfth too high) without using the register key. I
believe these notes were on pitch (for the twelfths that they were).
If I had wanted these particular notes, I would've been proud to
play them. So it made me wonder, can a truly competent player do this
on purpose? Or was this simply a super-freak accident?

Thanks,
Bill
