I don't know of any works, but I do know Kessler offers an affordable C clarinet - but it is not made of wood - it is under $1000. www.kesslermusic.com it may be worth a look.

Does anyone know of an affordable C clarinet? Having recently played in the
Chopin first piano concerto, and in Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, there
were transpositions needed for both pieces.
I don't think transpositions are faithful to composer's intentions. Berlioz
knew exactly what he wanted--and bankrupted his promoters in the process.
Equally, Verdi has quite a few parts for C clarinet.
Does anyone have a list of works that require a C Clarinet?
