ok, first, my clarinet's low register ((lowest notes)E, F, G) those notes are flat
but then, like, notes in the upper register like, the (the "middle upper" notes)(like G, A, B) those are a bit sharp
what can i do to fix it...
and, how can one go about deciding who plays which part in the Krommer double clarinet concerto?

whats your setup? instrument/ barrel/ mouthpiece/ reed, etc?
hard to answer that question without more info.
how long have you been playing?
a beginner on a CSO would prompt a different reply than for say an experienced musician on a professional instrument.

The technical demands for the Krommer Op.35 are fairly equal for the 2 parts.
There are many passages where the two clarinets either play in unison, thirds, sixths or answer each other.
In fact, if I remember correctly, the 2nd part actually has a wider range (up to a written G6) than the 1st part.
The biggest consideration, rather than who plays which part, is that both of your sounds, technical skills and interpetation should be as one...GBK

GBK, I'd like to encourage further debate on your point about the two performers sounding alike. I'm leaning toward each player having an individual sound quality --not compromised, but allowing the listener to discern which player is doing what at any time during the performance.

uning changes with and without the register key pressed are the result of the compromises and errors in manufacture of your instrument. Some horns are better tuned than others. Things like mouthpiece volume, tuning barrel inside shape, bore shape, tone hole placement and undercutting. Modest errors in pitch production can be controlled by the player, and others demand equipment changes.
