Oh hell. Now I'm confused!

I know the piece is written in bass clef, but a few points have me stuck -

(then you need to play chalumeau E when you see the middle line)

&

(fingering the clarinet as though you were playing a sax)

It has been a VERY long time since I needed to know what anything is called. Technical terms have fallen by the wayside. I usually just scan through a piece and then play, correcting myself as I go. However, everything I've played in the past has been written out for clarinet already!

Also, I am unclear on what is meant by "as though you were playing a sax". I realize it is obviously different from clarinet fingerings, but how? Could you please elaborate?

This piece appears very pretty, but neither myself nor the composer knows how it sounds, as he never played it himself. He has entrusted it to me to play for the first time, and I insist on doing it justice.
