I don't know about a repertoire list but I know of a good piece. It's called
Wings and it is by Joan Tower. It's pretty long...about 10 to 15 minutes.
I never heard anyone play it live but I've listened to a recording of it
several times. The recording is all Joan Tower music (so if you don't like
that particular one, there's plenty of others on it although I don't think the
rest of them are for clarinet alone.) and the clarinetist is Robert Spring. I
can't remember exactly what it is called but I think you can find it with
what I've told you. Good luck on finding a piece and your recital in
general!
