nes- "Actually by Debussy's time, the clarinet had undergoner a major shift."
True. I have a Buffet Bb that was made in 1896 and mechanically it is almost exacly the same as a modern Buffet. There are no less or more keys, but there are some differences in spring design, key shape, and a big difference in the quality of the metal. But I think it is safe to say there is just about nothing altered with respect to the fingerings available to the person using that clarinet or a modern one.
