It's worth while practising the ability to put high, buzzy harmonics
into your sound at will. Sometimes, I practise going from the bottom to
the top of my instrument chromatically, adding the buzz to each note
without changing the pitch.

Such harmonics, like consonants in speech, are not always required. But
for some music, they are. The last movement of the Stravinsky Three
Pieces, for example, benefits greatly if the player has the ability to
include such sounds.

Those who think that such sounds should *never* be produced in clarinet
playing can reflect that studying how to produce them is tantamount to
studying how *not* to produce them.
