I'm practicing Bach's Arioso from Cantata BWV156 arranged by Suenghee Lee. In two instances Bar 24 trilling from F natural to F# and Bar 26 trilling from A natural to Bb.
First instance, I'm lifting my thumb for F natural to F#. The second instance I'm going from A key to all fingers down Bb.
Hope this make an ounce of sense.

I can't imagine either of those trills as described in any register. A few more ounces needed, please.

What kind of clarinet are you using? Since this is a transcription, can you post a scan of the excerpt you're talking about?

Bars 24 and 26? It's only 19 bars long!

Perhaps this arrangement is notated with doubled note values: a quarter in the original becomes a half in the arrangement, and so forth. This sort of makes sense, as the original is slow enough to be counted in 8. (I have an arrangement notated this way that is 32 bars long.)
To trill from bottom space F to F#, use the bottom two of the four keys on the upper right, leaving your thumb down.
To trill from second space A to third line Bb, use the second from the top of the four keys on the upper right. Unless your Bb is seriously sharp, you shouldn't need to keep any other fingers down.
Are these the ounces you're looking for?

Hi davvd. Everything you wrote is reasonable. However, the trills the original poster described were not bottom space F to F# and 2nd space A to Bb. Maybe F to G and A to B, though "all fingers down: can mean several things. Without more information I'm not sure what (if anything) was being asked.

This one is probably better for general use. Attached.
Spend some time figuring out what the “alternate” fingerings are - many of them can be used as trill fingerings. Especially work on the four keys on the top joint that you press with your right index finger, like “side” Bb/Eb. (xxx|,ooo) You can play a whole octave with just your left hand and right index finger.
If you need a new fingering, just try lifting fingers or pressing levers until you find something that works (but make sure it’s reasonably in tune).
