All much easier on a full Boehm.... as Chris P pointed out to me once, use the RH to finger the bottom Eb that only appears on the full Boehm such as the Selmer 9, and then the speaker key gives Bb (and a much nicer sound than the throat note). Then moving between Bb and C is easy.
Of course, not an option for most clarinets...

You can also keep the 3rd finger (your left hand ring finger) down for that passage if it helps with the bottom hand down.

You can also play the Bb with normal throat Bb and use both trill keys for the C so it keeps all the notes in the first and third bars of figure 1 in the same register.

For A I sometimes use 2nd and 3rd finger in addition the the right hand but that may flatten your sound significantly if your throat tones are relatively in tune.

The tempo is not fast. It's marked Allegro moderato e maestoso (moderately fast and stately). I've always heard it and played it at 100 or at most or 104. You should be able to use the standard fingerings at that speed.
