[Dixielandjazz] Lots of flats or sharps

As a closet clarinet player, I understand the awkward fingering of the scales
of keys with 5 or 6 sharps or flats.  Where is the difficulty of the trumpet
player in those keys?  The 3 fingers involved don't look difficult as I look at
a fingering chart---it surely must be awkward changes in lip/tongue etc
positions?  Is that it?
