RE: A to C#

Sneakers/JMcAulay...

As you mentioned the obvious remedy is to try and leave as many fingers down as possible for the A.

But...that's no fun. Try something a little bizarre:

First, the clarinet must be held between the knees while fingering the following for C#:

T x - x - x right side key#2 from top(w/right thumb)/ x - x - x C# (w/ right pinky)

and trill down to the A by trilling 1st -2nd -3rd left hand fingers together, leaving everything else in place.

Of course as I said, in order to use the right thumb on the second top right side key, the clarinet must be held between the knees.

Obviously, I have too much time on my hands...GBK
