Voicing on German system clarinet

Author: kehammel

I found this old thread because I play an Albert system clarinet, and was thinking it might be interesting to try a German system clarinet someday. I see that Paul Aviles refers here to the concept that you "just blow" with this kind of setup:

Could someone (maybe Paul) explain what this means? Is the tongue position and embouchure required to get the right voicing any different from that on a French system clarinet? Given the setup mentioned- soft reed, long mouthpiece facing, and small mouthpiece tip aperture- I'm having trouble understanding how high notes are successfully produced. But of course I have absolutely no experience with this system.
