Hindemuth Sonata and Concerto are both nice and fun to play.
Bozza and Nielson Concertos are not as musically rewarding but are technical nightmares and fun to do. Don't forget the Clarinet Polka!!! Fun and almost everyone loves it.

Besides Weber Concerto No.1 Movement 2, I like Rossini's Introduction, Theme and Variations. But what I like most are concertos for two Clarinets and orchestra, like Telemann Concerto (actually for two chalumeaus and strings) and Mendelssohn Concertpieces 1 and 2 (for Clarinet and Bassett-Horn vs. orchestra).
Once upon a time when I played Stamitz (No.3) I found it quite interesting, but then I started listening to the other Concerts of him and I found them quite boring (know one - know all), same for his Flute-Concerts...

My favorites, from a high-school stand point:), are Sutermeister's Capriccio, and Ashman's version of The Four Seasons, neither of which I've played, but I hope to someday.

I like the Poulenc Sonata, even though it gets old kinda quickly. It's not really all that hard to play. Although I've never played it, I would kill to have the music to the Copland concerto. It's got a good mix of jazz and classical in it. I love the cadenza section.

I like preimer rhapsody (sorry I can't spell right now). The more I listen and play it, the more intimate I become with it.

As short solos for an audience who are mainly not musicians but want something nice to listen to that won't go on forever (Thinking school concerts/ recitals etc.) I like movements 1 and 5 from 'Victorian Kitchen Garden' by Paul Reade which was written for Emma Johnson, Finzi's 5 Bagatelles and the Minuet or 4th movement from Mozart's clarinet Quintet! The first of Lutoslawski's dance preludes is good for a wake-up call or to start/finish a concert too! Perhaps not the most technically difficult pieces but audiences have reacted well to pieces like these for me.

Hey Chloe! I'm working on Finzi's Bagatelles right now, and I love that piece. The only problems I'm having are with the last movement, but it's all technical stuff.

Hey! My favorite clarinet solos are Spohr's Concertos 1 & 2 and Bernstein's Sonata. I also like Weber's 2nd Concerto. I'm working on Poulenc right now, and it's also interesting.
