Two quick ideas come to mind. Someone (possibly even Alban Berg) made an
arrangement of the second movement of Berg's Chamber Concerto for clarinet,
violin and piano. It's really quite playable, not that difficult.
Karel Husa also has a wonderful trio. For more suggestions, check out the
recordings by the Verdehr Trio at Michigan State. They've commissioned
many composers, and added a very significant amount to the repertoire for
this combination.
