Donny,
How about:

Giorgio Koukl: Contest Piece for Clarinet and Piano

Koukl was born in Prague, where his late father Jiri was clarinetist for
National Theater Orchestra. Giorgio now lives in the Italian-speaking
part of Switzerland, near Milan, Italy, where he attended conservatory.
("Jiri" and "Giorgio" are Czech and Italian versions of the same name,
the son uses Giorgio to help distinguish himself professionally from his
father. On recordings together they are listed as Jiri and Giorgio.)

The composer's website: http://www.koukl.com/
A 5-minute audio excerpt can be found at
http://stage.vitaminic.it/giorgio_koukl2/all_tracks
scroll down to CONTEST PIECE PER CLARINETTO.
The clip is available in both "real audio" and "mp3" formats.

Contact me directly about the published music.
