Ok so I have a jury exam for my graduate course in about 2 and a half weeks and my teacher and I have decided to take the Martino Set for Clarinet off my program because it is proving to be a real b*#^h to learn. I need to replace it with something else unaccompanied and about 6-8 mins long. If I get desperate I'll probably just do Stravinsky 3 Pieces (although I played it a couple of years ago) but could do with some ideas for others. Thanks guys.

Rozsa Sonatina or Egon Wellesz Suite for Clarinet Solo, op. 74.
That Martino piece sounds a lot easier than it is with Jonathan Cohler playing it. I tried working on it once upon a time and could only get a good grasp on movement two.

I have movement 1 down ok but still have the 2nd movement at half tempo and with some stopping and starting...the 3rd is just ridiculous! But I'll give it a better crack next semester

The Osborne Rhapsody is a nice unaccompanied piece but doesn't quite meet your time requirements. It's closer to 4-5 minutes.

How about the Miklos Rosza "Sonatina For Clarinet Solo, op. 27?
Interesting piece. Original ed. is published by Rongwen. My copy is pretty old.
I think someone mentoned that it is now handled by Broude.

Might want to take a look at Paul Harvey's "Three Etudes on Gershwin Themes" sometimes referred to as "Suite on Themes of Gershwin." Runs about seven and a half minutes give or take. Subtle, sly fragmentary references to three Gershwin themes embedded in three movements that have a cadenza-like feel. The last movement, based on "It Ain't Necessarily So," features some demanding pyrotechnics and —yes—THAT glissando shmear.
It's available at: http://www.luybenmusic.com/clcat.asp. There's also at least one recording that I know of on the Chandos label with Gervase de Peyer. Wonderfully witty and fey!

As well as the Paul Harvey robertgh suggested how about the Berkley 3 unaccompanied pieces or a couple of the Bella Kovacs Hommages?

Hey
Just a few ideas
Berio - Lied
Gordon Crosse - A Year and a Day (this is a bit of a difficult work to learn though)
Edwin Roxburgh - Wordsworth Miniatures (these are lovely!)
Elliot Carter - Gra
Hope this helps, let me know if you want to know more of any of the pieces.

The 3rd movement of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time is a clarinet solo called "Abyss of the Birds." It's about 9 minutes long and is probably not as technically challenging as the Martino.

Persichetti's Parable Op. 126 is a rarely played but great little piece...slow and lyrical at the beginning and end, with a fast rhythmic section in the middle. About 7 minutes long, not overly challenging to pull together in a short period of time...in fact, I stumbled across it as I was searching for a last-minute addition for one of my grad school recitals.

Gordon Jacob - Five pieces for solo clarinet (Oxford University Press)
You wouldn't have to play them all.
