After doing a search on here and not quite finding what I was looking for, I need to ask a couple of tremolo fingering that I don't think have been discussed on here yet. And if they were, I can't find them...
In the march "Burst of Flame" the 1st clarinet part has tremolos between clarion Bb and altissimo Db, and also the B to D a half step higher.
Any help would make a whole row of us community band members very happy. ![[grin]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie5.gif)

Bb5 to Db6 tremolo:
Play Bb with the standard fingering:
TR x x o + side key #4 / ooo
Tremolo to Db6 by removing TR and 2nd finger LH (basically overblowing a 1st finger F#4):
x o o +side key #4 / o o o
B5 to D6 tremolo:
Play B5 and tremolo to D6 by lifting all fingers (basically overblowing an open G) to get the D6.
or
Play B5 and tremolo to D6 by rolling up and opening the throat A key (while still playing B5)
BTW - If the passage permits, I've even seen clarinetists using the RH first finger to open the throat A key ...GBK

On the suggested B5 to D6 tremolo; if the D6 plays flat you can bring it up by "alternating" the 2 lower right side keys on the open/overblown G6. It calls for dual movement and coordination offsetting the B5 but preferred in slower passages when pitch and note quality is more critical. v/r Ken
B5= TR | X00 | 000 to D6= X| 000 + 2 RS keys | 000
