I’m trying to play an etude with a high f# going to a b natural with a slur articulation. What do I need to do with my overture so my note will speak. Any other suggestions will be very helpful. It keeps playing an f#. How do I get it to jump from an f# to a high b? Plz help

I have a fingering that I use on C clarinet when doing the high run in the middle of the Ginistera Variations... when I get a minute I'll check out if it works on my Bb clarinet- it could be good for a slur from alt F#, hang on, I'll be back in a couple of hours...

Try overblowing Bb (2 spaces above staff) as fingering for the F#, then normal one for the B.

Hi Lauren2192009. You may want to spend a minute establishing which B6 fingerings are best in tune and quality on your clarinet. I would use the rh short F# suggested by Tom H, despite the long F# maybe involving fewer fingers changing. Whichever fingerings you use, there will be what amounts to a register change to smooth over.

Hi there, we're all assuming you mean altissimo F# to the B natural above, please correct me if you mean the octave below (the upper register, not the upper upper register).
IF you mean the altissimo, there is a relatively simple fingering to use (I mentioned it above, just needed to test it out to make sure it worked on a "normal" clarinet).
You can finger the high F# any way you like, the normal fingering AND the "overblown Bb" fingering will both work here...
- To slur to the altissimo B natural, take all your fingers off and open the A key and register key (as though you were playing THROAT Bb on the middle line). And a B natural should come out.
If this doesn't work then you'll need to work on tone/voicing of the altissimo regardless of what fingering you'll choose. If you have good altissimo, the fingering I described SHOULD just pop out easily.
