In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C Clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G.
So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is.
I hope this makes sense... :)

∙ 14y agoThey are the same. They are both B flat clarinets- play in the key of B flat. They are just 2 ways of saying the same thing. The "b" in the Bb is a short-cut for "flat." In a true "flat" sign, the round part on the b is actually shaped more like a half of a heart, but since computer keyboards don't have that, the b has to suffice.

How do you play a B sharp on a clarinet?
The piano is a "C" instrument, meaning when it plays a C you hear a C. The clarinet is a "B-flat" instrument which means when a clarinet plays a "C" is sounds a "B-flat." I know this sounds confusing and the easiest thing you can do is play, rewrite the clarinet notes a whole step higher than the piano part.
