A good fingering text (Sym, Opperman, Ridenour, etc..) is a wise investment for your personal library.

While we're on the subject, I'm playing around with Artie Shaw's CC, but those fingering charts don't go higher as A7 (it's probably a good thing for my neighbours, but still). Any tips on the gliss from G7 to C7? I know there are a lot of threads on the concerto, but haven't found any specific fingerings for that gliss.

Yes, I must be missing something I guess.
I'm looking at this page: http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/cl_alt_4.html
Which doesn't go higher then A7. Or should I look at the trill fingering chart, which does go higher?

Cheers, Koen

I think you are really asking for G6 to C7.

You're right, and I now see that the fingering charts DO go higher than that, I just missed the 8va sign. Completely my bad, sorry for being slow ;)

those really really really absurdly high notes are kinda useless and you'll probably never bump into any pieces that go higher than C7... Just what i think, but then again, im known for making poor assumptions

Slowly but surely, composers are going to push the register of the clarinet up there, so anyone who learns to handle these extreme notes is going to have an advantage.

Rautavaara asked Stoltzman if it was OK if he wrote up to D#7 in his clarinet concerto. Stoltzman said "sure, if you write it, I can play it, but you know, I'm going to be spending the whole performance just thinking about THAT NOTE." Rautavaara didn't write the D#7, though he did leave the general tessitura way up in altissimo territory, and I must say, Stoltzman sounds very sweet up there.
