Ok, yes, you got me.


I do actually have to admit there is a heightening of the back of the tongue in the altissimo (to compensate for the smaller pocket of air needed?). Then yes, the glissando is another exception to the rule.


What I refer to is the note to note change of shape and position of tongue some refer to. I recall a post of Tony Pay in which he spoke of being at rest (without clarinet) but mentally going through playing the Mozart Concerto and realized that he was contouring his tongue differently for almost every note. I believe that this is ANOTHER way to achieve different air speeds.


The video I referenced above is about Ben Franklin's glass armonica. Not immediately what one would associate with clarinet but the video was on my wife's FaceTime feed and we viewed it together. The point where the expert says (basically) "it's not the speed of the glass rotation, or the pressure exerted with the fingers, but the combination of both," that I said, "that's what's involved with playing the clarinet." There is a very subtle support from the embouchure upon the reed (below the level of conscious control that is) and the amount of air pressure generated in the mouth. But it is how those are used in tandem that creates and sustains a robust sound.
