Hi rdc,

Thanks so much for articulating my question so clearly. That is exactly what I was trying to ask. Your suggestions are really helpful.

With the drop down from D6 to C6 it's challenging to cope with having no fingers on top, and the register change also is a big element.

In playing it, I feel as though I am trying to change gears on a bicycle while also riding no-hands. In that situation it would be possible to do it, but just would need very careful control of the force applied to the pedals, so as to allow the gear change to take place smoothly (that is harder when riding no-hands). Currently on my clarinet, I feel as though I don't control my air right, with the result that the C6 either fails to sound, or I blow far too loudly.

The really interesting thing, I think, is that the C6 works in the Andantino passage, because the C6 note is very short. However, in the Cooling Breeze passage, the C6 is longer. That means that I need to control it for longer and try to get a good stable tone. When I try to do that, the C6 does that thing that stunt kites do, where it starts to take off, then spirals furiously in the air, and then goes into the ground like a dart.

It makes me wonder if I need to control my air better so that as I change gear (going over the register change) the reed would not get all wriggly, but would coast gently over the register change, and then settle into the C6.

Maybe what I also need to do is stabilise it with different fingerings though, as suggested above, and I will need to try a lot of things, I think, to figure that out.

Thank you for all the suggestions. It will take me some time to work out what works for me I think, but I will get practising.
