Well, I knwo I've heard one or two works where the key popping seemed to be an integral part of the music. I was listening to a clarinet quartet (clarity) from australia. I bought their CD called "Alive". I think it's pretty good and fun. Lots of little variations of themes and some nice variety from a classical style, to blues, to a more jazzy style. In one song that I like (can't remember the track, but I think it's either 9, 11, or 19), the bass clarinet plays a steady repeating bass line. However it jumps from a higher note (let's say throat G) to a very low now which sounds like it could be all the fingers down to an E or so. And he forceable pushes the keys down. You can hear the keys pop and the clank of the metal, but to me it seems almost like a small "percussion" line. I think it really adds to the music rther than takes away.
