I'm planning a similar recital. There are also the three pieces by Lenoox
Berkley for solo clarinet (short and rather nice) and the sonatas of
Arnold Cooke and York Bowen (which I've always found a bit dull). If
you're looking for an encore then a perfect solution is the third
movement of Malcolm Arnold's 2nd concerto - a really fun little rag-time
piece which sounds harder than is. If you haven't heard Finzi's concerto
find it today because it is _wonderful_! Basically British clarinet music
has an enormous repetoire.
