If you want to play a pair of themes or excerpts, two books that you
probably won't regret purchasing, even if you don't play from them this
time around, are:

Stanley Drucker, "Easy Original Clarinet Solos" (short solos with piano
accompaniment by Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov, Weber, Mendelssohn, Beethoven,
etc)

and

"World's Favorite Easy to Play Pieces for Clarinet" ("Clair de Lune",
"Parade of the Tin Sodiers", "Finlandia", etc --- but also
"Greensleeves", "Londonderry Air", "Glow Worm", "To a Wild Rose", etc.)
