As Ken Lagace states above: "...To get back to the original question, JJ #2 is all written in whole tone tonalities. If major and minor scales don't need pencil marks to play accurately, then getting whole tone tonality is a piece of cake after getting them in the fingers."

As a clarinewbie, I haven't taken up JJ#2... but delving into Artie Shaw's material I soon realized the two whole tone scales/arpeggios are surprisingly easy to get "into the fingers" once the (two) patterns are seen to be flipped around in different registers.

Were it only the case that diminished scales were quite so easy ;-)
