Hi, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if the clarinet has any registers where it doesn't really perform well. In particular, I would like to use it in a fairly sustained dynamic (between mf and f) in the high register, specifically between G4 and Bb4, with C3 being the middle one.

A good orchestration manual wouldn't hurt!

The register you are referring to is that of the "clarino" and you can easily play an mf and an f!
