"To claim that a fingering HAS A QUALITY independent of the player is simply a nonsense."

Come on. Lots of notes have their own quality on any generic clarinet. Isn't that the charm of the horn (or the headache). If the statement where true then why ever bother with a resonant fingering on any throat note. Sure the individual's choice of fingers to use can vary from player to player, horn to horn. But has anyone had an A not sound better doing something? It's doubtful.

For example if someone used 1&1 Bb to start Concertino or fork f# to start Copland because those fingerings offer a different quality, then more power to them.

I just checked, I couldn't find any fingering chart published using RH Eb on C#6. So it's safe to consider the fingering isn't used too much by most.
I realize generalizing is virtually impossible. But surely there's some semi-truths for clarinet...Use a resonant finger on throat notes if advantageous, use chromatic or alternate fingerings to avoid needless sliding, and try to keep your pinky off high C#. Sounds like effective, good advise.
