Which are transposing instruments?

Uhhhhhhh clarinet, and... don't know!

How would you transpose music for clarinet?

Errrrrr, something about a major second? I ought to know because I have a clarinet. Now I feel inadequate. No! I'll revise it another day.

I'd like to say, I love Beethoven. I'm playing piano Sonata in C minor, Opus, I think, 10. The first movement is so fast, and the second one has a few deadly arppeggio passages, but I'm enjoying it a lot. I really want to impress myself. My self-confidence loves to soar sky-high one moment and plummet the next. I think I need to see a doctor. TT_TT ...

I also tried out 深海の孤独 sheet music that little sister printed for me at her school. It's a song sung by Stella Loussier. I still like 水の証 by Lacus Clyne better musically. (Stella so should have been a singer though! Neo's not a good father. Okay, I'm obsessed with Gundam SEED anime.)
