You might take a look at the Trio #1 (1960) for Clarinet, Horn and Piano by
John Cowell, published long ago by Camara Music Publishers, 3505 Iroquois,
Detroit, 14, MI.

Cowell was an American composer (from California, as I recall) who was a
close friend of Percy Grainger's, at least while Grainger lived in this
country. This piece is not at all difficult for the clarinet, but is more of
a challenge for the horn player. It was received quite well by the audience
the time our chamber music group programmed it. A friend of mine who is
principal horn in the Hamburg Philharmonic has also played it and recommends
it.

The difficulty will be finding parts. As you undoubtedly noticed in the
address listed above, our set was printed sometime before the zip code system
went into effect. Jim Irwin, the horn player in our chamber music group,
found this set at Eble Music in Iowa City, IA (319-338-0313) several years
ago.
Best regards,
George Landis
