The discussion about swapping and sliding reminds me of something that's occurred several times when working on an etude, especially the more melodic ones. I'll be immersed in some Jeanjean study, dreaming about France, and suddenly I'm in one of those "pinky conundrums" where I have to stop and carefully work out the order of finger placement and pencil in "L-R-slide R-L" and I'll catch myself condemning the composer, "Didn't this guy realize how hard this is on a clarinet?" And then, of course, I remember, "Oh yeah, it's an etude!"
