From Thurston book 3, this is etude number 9: after Schumann's Symphony Nr. 4.

Articulation (using the tongue to make the note stop and start) is one of the hardest aspects of playing the clarinet, and one I've struggled with probably more than anything else. I've made some real headway this past year, though, and was able to play this etude mostly single-tongued (t-t-t-t-t-t). I only used double-tonguing (t-k) four times during this etude, which at this speed is a significant triumph for me personally. So I feel pretty good about this one!

About the etude project:

I've been challenging myself to practice a different etude every day and prepare it to the best of my ability in one day. This has been very helpful, but I wanted to add an additional element of pressure/nervousness. So I started recording them to post here.

It's not a real performance- I usually AM playing with a metronome, and I usually record these in a couple of takes and put them together later. I'll try to do them in a single take when possible, but usually I'll break them up.
