Maybe this will help:

80: Schumann Fantasy Piece No. 1

60: Beginning of Osborne Rhapsody for Clarinet (unaccompanied), or
count "One One Thousand, Two One Thousand,..." (seconds)

160: Rozsa Sonatina for Clarinet Solo (Variation Five)

100: Rozsa Sonatina (Variation 1), or

Carl Maria von Weber, Polacca from Concerto No. 2, Op. 74 (Ed.
Robert Cavally) (Although it is often performed at faster tempi)
