 Re: Which fingering to use for E/B and F#/C#

I agree with the answers so far. But there is the caveat that you ask about keys "like D Major." The advice to be fluent with both combinations but to normally prefer LH B - RH C or C# still works in A Major (only one more sharp than D) but breaks down once you have to deal with D# in E Major. At that point (and as you add more sharps) the combination B-C#-D# is normally done R-L-R since there's no left hand D# on standard Boehm clarinets (it's available as an add-on or a special feature on some clarinets). But there are always exceptions to every rule, and sometimes you have to do B-C#-D# with a slide L-L-R. The important thing is that a listener not be able to tell from the sound what fingering you're using.

Of course, all of this applies to the notes a twelfth lower (E-F# and E-F#-G#).
