Steven,
This might not be at the technical level you're looking for (after
all, I played it at a college band concert at a school with no music
majors!), but there is a novelty piece called "Immer Kleiner" (clar. solo
with band - there may be a piano accompaniment available?) where, during
the course of the solo, the clarinetist systematically takes the clarinet
apart ( the last part is played entirely on the mouthpiece!)

Good luck!
