The two Farkas clarinet quartets (Scenes From Hungary & Early Hungarian
Dances from the 17th Century) are both Eb/ 2Bbs/BC.

The Gershwin Three Preludes arranged by Brady, has Eb, 2 Bbs (As on the
second prelude), and BC. It really needs a low C bass clarinet for the
best effect.

There are more but these are some of the best.
