Paolo, you asked:

>Can anyone give me informations about Joan Tower's Fantasy for clarinet?

I've played it. It's about 20 minutes long in one continuous movement
(series of movements, actually), and difficult as can be. To me, the
music was worth every minute I had to practice to learn it. A wonderful
piece.

The pitch material is from an American pop song "Those Harbor Lights". It
is published by Schirmer, now handled by Hal Leonard, HL50488796. I
highly recommend it.
