Does that include books too? Or, were all your efforts restricted to web sites?
Did you look at either of the recent Bernstein biographies? Both Joan Peyser's and Humphrey Burton's books will give you enough information to get started, and include additional facts/names to continue your research.
John Warrack wrote an excellent Weber biography in which he happens to mention the history of the Grand Duo in great detail.
How about Eric Werner's biography of Mendelssohn for starters?
Aside from numerous mentions of all the works in The Clarinet at one time or another, there are at least 3 standard clarinet texts which you could additionally consult.
If all else fails, and you decide to go the creative route, you could always analyze the pieces, and write a basic "listener's guide" to the thematic and harmonic development.
Again, if all your research was restricted to search engines, than you have just learned that the easy way out is obviously not the best way, and your college advisor should be ashamed of himself for offering so little guidance....GBK
