The clarinet is notated one step higher than the piano. When the piano plays a first space F the clarinet will play their second line G.
EDIT: The clarinet will sound a step LOWER than the piano when both are asked to play the same WRITTEN note. That is why the clarinet part is written UP a step!

The treble clef is what tells you the name of the notes. No matter what instrument you are playing, a B is a B. That only refers to the name of the note though. The pitch will be different if they are in different keys. The clarinet is a Bb instrument, meaning that the C scale on a clarinet will sound like a Bb scale on the piano. You can play any music from a Bb instrument on any other Bb instrument and it will sound the same, ie. tenor sax, trumpet, clarinet. Now if you play something on the clarinet that is written for a different pitched instrument, like alto sax, flute, french horn, piano etc. you will have to transpose. For piano, you will have to read all notes up a whole step, to make them sound the same. If the piano note is a B you would have to play a C# on clarinet. For clarinet music, you will have to lower each note a whole step to have it sound the same. If the clarinet note is a B you would play an A to have it sound the same.

yes the names of the notes are the same on a treble staff, however the pitch is different from piano and clarinet. the clarinet is a b flat instruments which means a piano's b flat is a clarinet's c. in other words whatever the piano plays, the same pitch came be obtained by playing a tone up by the clarinet. e.g. piano - g , clarinet - a. piano - f sharp, clarinet g sharp.

sure and no. Bb and A# are enharmonically equivalent. this actually ability that on a piano you press the comparable key to get the two Bb and A#. yet once you play on a violin you will in no way play Bb and A# the comparable. as an occasion interior the main F considerable A# would be greater and Bb. A# is taken care of as a bent tone that desires to pass to B. Bb would be a distinctive tendency tone that desires to pass right down to A. based on the context of the piece you have been enjoying Bb would desire to be everywhere from 4-18 cents decrease than A#. There are some previous organs and pianos with chop up keys so as that Bb and A# are 2 distinctive keys, nonetheless this grew to become into deemed an impractical answer through fact it meant having approximately 19 keys according to octave. On a piano you won't be in a position to do something approximately it, yet on maximum different contraptions you are able to and would bend the pitch to make the version between 2 enharmonically equivalent notes.

Well, yes the written notes have the same names, but the pitches will be different -- the clarinet will sound a step higher than the piano when both are asked to play that same written "B".
EDIT:
Hmmm.
Thumbs down for everybody, and yet everybody's answer was correct. Gee, I wonder what's up?
