The first half of that previous explanation is correct, but the answers are confusing, because the answerer is converting clarinet to piano, not piano to clarinet as in the question.
Because the C on the clarinet sounds as B flat on the piano, that means that the clarinet must be played that much higher to sound the same. The answer is there: if the piano is playing B flat, the clarinet is playing C to sound the same, which is on tone higher.
So, F sharp (concert pitch) = G sharp on clarinet
C sharp = D sharp
A flat = B flat
And be careful on some pairs of notes. If you have B on the piano, you might answer quickly and say C on the clarinet, but it isn't. It's C sharp, because B to C is only a semitone, or half-step. The other pair of natural notes like that is E and F.

A piano is a C instrument meaning that a C on piano is a concert C. Clarinet is a Bb instrument meaning that a concert Bb is a clarinet C. If you were to play the clarinet part on a piano you would be a whole step sharp. Therefore you would need to take the note down a whole step to play the correct pitch.
F# = E
C# = B
Ab = Gb/F#
Whatever key an instrument is in means that that instrument's C is a concert that pitch. Eb saxophone's C is a concert Eb......not the other way around.

From concert pitch (C) to Bb clarinet (or trumpet or tenor sax or baritone TC, etc...)
Simply go up one whole or two half steps. I use the half step method because it's easier for me.
Piano C = Clarinet D (C to C# and C# to D = two half steps)
Piano D = Clarinet E (D to D#/Eb and D# to E...)
Piano E = Clarinet F# (E to E#/F and F to F#)
...
Piano Ab = Clarinet Bb (Ab to A and A to A#/Bb)
easy enough once you know the rules... ☺

There is no difference. A note depends on vibration - 256 vps (vibrations per second) produces middle C. 512 is C octave. So the notes remain the same, no matter what instrument they are played on.

Haha, ignore me - I screwed up the answer - that's what I get for not being in music for 3 years.
The person two below me is right (well, for the most part at least)
