 Tuning the nosebleeds.

So, just for kicks and giggles, I decided to try the principal clarinet part of Strauss' "Alpine Symphony." Alpine is pretty fun. Almost as much as it is difficult. The difficulty not only lies in the fact that it's in Deutsch and in cut time but also the fact that it goes up to the highest C written on clarinet, and then descends in a perfect C scale run.

Other than fingerings, the one deterrent was how grossly out of tune I sounded, because I'm not used to going up that high.

So, any advice on playing in tune that high?
