I wondered if I could ask how different people manage the instability of supporting the clarinet in double lip when playing these two exerpts?


I would first figure out the nature of the instability. Is it occurring because of your embouchure? Or is it occurring because of your fingers? (Or perhaps there's some other cause?)

Many clarinetists, whether they play single lip or double lip, feel some awkwardness crossing the higher register break going downward. When you play the high D, you have a number of fingers down. And when you then play C, you lift most of them up, which can cause the clarinet to feel unstable. A very simple solution, then, is to keep the right-hand little finger pressing down on the Eb key as a sort of anchor.

Moreover, when you move to C, you could also press upward a bit with your thumbs so that the clarinet anchors into your upper lip (or, if playing single lip, teeth) and jaw. I find that giving a rhythm to this feeling of pressing (for example, press with the thumbs on the upbeat of one in the first excerpt) also adds to expression.
