I am seeking help on behalf of a student who is playing the 3rd. clarinet part of Jacques Press WEDDING DANCE . A klezmer like piece that requires a series of slurred 1/16 note triplets--from second space A# up to 3rd space C# and back to
A#. The tempo is marked "as fast as possible"!!!
To the best of my limited knowledge the side trill keys only allow up to C natural. Is there a work around for these fast triplets? Or is it just a matter of keeping the right hand down and gradually working up the speed?

Thanks for your collective wisdom.
