Hi Steve,
We publish Hubert Bird's "Sonata for Clarinet and Piano" which might
be suitable if Grade 6 (which is what the composer says it is -- I
personally have no intuitive feeling for grading systems) is within
reach of your students.
Let me know if you want more info on this or a couple of other pieces
we have.
