The Composition Database on sneezy has the following:

Sonata No. 1 in Ab, Op. 49
A large work but not as long as the other two sonatas. Range is not a problem, and the clarinet part is not difficult. The piano part requires a strong player. The difficulty with all of Reger works is the intricate rhythm which requires exact ensemble work.

Sonata No. 2 in F#, Op. 49
An extended sonata in an unusual key ... Use of the Clarinet in A results in a dark sonority.

Sonata in Bb, Op. 107
This work is the longest and best sonata of Reger, monumental in clarinet repertoire. Phrases are generally long, requiring great endurance, especially in the slow movement. The ensemble is the greatest performance problem.

Cheers,
Mark C.
