Ok, thanks. The full phrase is "Playing all these different kinds of new music can focus our attention on the nuts and bolts of playing the clarinet..." It works, thank you.

As doobiedicted said, it refers to the root of how something operates. I.e. 'This factory is the nuts and bolts of our company'. It comes from 'nuts' and from 'bolts'. Not sure how to explain it so I've found a picture for you. I'm sure you can imagine why these are considered important or vital. http://www.warrs.ca/sites/castlewarrscastlebuildingcentr/images/products/canwel_nuts_bolts_300.jpg Let me know if you have any more questions.
