 The Clarinet BBoard

Imagine Mozart sitting at his clavier whipping out a riff in the form of the Amajor scale in thirds! Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in 1/16ths at about 144 to a 1/4 note.
Now, you're challenged to blow that gesture on your clarinet in Bmajor -5 sharps.
Which side of the instrument do you take the B4? If you've memorize your 5# scales in thirds, its a whiz --otherwise, you're going to end up stumbling over the D#.
If it's "in your fingers" (muscle memory), your eyes see what's going on, and the whole thing is processed in you brain stem --fingers flying, and your more thoughtful brain parts can turn those flying fingers into a nicely turned phrase.
Whenever I run into something that doesn't sight read readily, I analyze it and put on my "to work on list."
