A belated reply:

Yes, Rein, in general, all of those things would interest me. For
example, I've recently been asked to write something under two minutes
for unaccompanied clarinet (or any range) for an ongoing project in
Sicily.
So contact me privately at "mgresham@-----.com" to give me a better
idea of what kind of music you seek and your postal address.
(Netherlands?)

In the meantime, there are also several works for clarinet which we
publish. Since you mention "competent amateur" at one point, perhaps
you would be interested in Hubert Bird's "Sonata for Clarinet and Piano"
a "grade 6" piece we released earlier this year:

LNP-0059 Bird: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (score and part) $ 16.95
Title: Sonata for Clarinet and Piano
Composer: Hubert Bird
Genre: Chamber
Instrumentation: clarinet, piano
Format: 8.5"x11"
Duration: 6'15"
You can buy it online at the LNP Retail Webstore
http://www.luxnova.com/lnpwebstore/
In stock, ready to ship.

Another new work, by J. Granville (James) Eakin III (but one that
requires accomplished performers) will be appearing in the webstore next
week. (I'll announce it when it is in the webstore and ready to ship.)
James is at Aspen at the moment (summer study), and he left me the
impression that a grad student is going to play it there. More info
when it happens...
