Hi Lori,

Two suggestions - Tartini/Jacob "Concertino" (easy orchestral
accompaniment and an effective clarinet part), and the Paul Ben-Haim
"Pastorale Variee", which is a set of variations. Accompaniment not too
stressful, and the solo part is a lot of fun and very showy. I've enjoyed
playing this piece.
