On my R13, the momentum of key and finger movement makes the right hand slide from F down to E (that RBlack's associate preferred) the easiest, and the choice most likely to give me the "evenness" as well as some of "clarity and fizz" Tony suggests passages like this one need, rather than syrupy smoothness.
Some regular practice on little finger clarinet gymnastics is necessary, and for that I like some of the exercises in Floyd Low's "Little Finger Key Studies for Clarinet," now long out of print but available for free online here:

The final study, number 17 "12 Measures of Misery" brings players face to face with problems they'd rather not see, but surely will if they play enough music. I don't care for most of Low's condescending and nagging cartoons, though. The suppose they're examples of "Low humor" (like this pun).
