D# to B pinky slide?

Author: WhitePlainsDave  Date:   2017-05-22 16:51 My question--I hope my last on the subject matter, pertains to the opening of the Cadenza on Messager's Solo De Concurs, and what do you do with your pinkies here. For the majority of us, who have (soprano) clarinets that are unequipped with left pink keys: the first passage of the cadenza http://www.carolinehartig.com/clientuploads/student-resources/Messager%20Clarinet%20Cadenza.pdf requires us to, at least as I've seen it up until now, make some "pinky swap" (i.e. change pinkies mid note) either (but not both) from left to right pinky on the , or from the right to left pinky on the 3rd to complete this phrase. But someone I spoke with yesterday suggested a pinky slide instead. I'm familiar with pinky slides, at least as it involves moving from to or to (or if you prefer the same swaps with the register key not acctuated, in the to or to range) but I've never heard of a to swap (down and across keys)--or a to swap, or again, if you prefer, down the register, a to or an to one. Thoughts? Thanks.
