I am working on Baermann Etude #18. For the most part, it's coming along swimmingly; however, when I try the leap from staff E to high D or above staff A to D, both notes suffer. When I play the notes slowly and legato, no problem. When I set the metronome at 80, things fall apart quickly. The lower notes are no longer centered and I have to push so much air through the mouthpiece to get high D that it's wispy and uncentered. I'm using the standard fingerings shown in Ridenour's "Clarinet Fingerings" to no avail. I've perused the book for resonant fingerings, too, that would make the leap easier or at least less difficult. No luck there either. I have received incredible feedback from the Bboard members. I'm hoping that someone can enlighten or turn me on to some technique studies that will get me over this hump.
