Some composers actually write what they hear in their heads and if it's the key of Db, or C# in their head then that's what they write it in. Don't forget, B major on the piano is C# major on a Bb clarinet and E major is F# major on a Bb clarinet.
Once a composer begins in an easier key they may hear a modulation into a much more difficult key because that's what they hear. Some keys have special meanings to some composers because it's in their inner ears. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
