David:
There are many "Solo de concours" compositions for clarinet and piano,
mostly written for the Paris Conservatoire. The book that discusses
these works is entitled Solo de concours by Harry Gee. Also, there are
several CD's that talk about both of the works you are asking about. The
title of the CD is French Clarinet Art, clarinetist is Paul Meyer,
pianist is Eric Le Sage. If you have a Borders or a Barnes and Noble
book store near you you will easily find this or one of the other CD's.
If you need more info e-mail me at the following address and I will be
happy to do a bit more research for you:

Happy practicing-JAB
