A repatoire that requires no clarinetist

It's funny, as a classical musician the majority of the pieces I know how to play are transposed from other instruments: Bach's oboe and cello. Vivaldi's violin, and of course Bartok's folk violin (have you ever heard the Romanian dances in a clarinet sextet!?). The only classical piece of clarinet that I know is Mozart's Trio in E flat. I'm looking to get a copy of Brahm's and Mozart's clarinet concertos, but I always feel bummed out that you need a stringed quartet to reproduce the sound.

Besides pop music, Klezmer, and jazz, are there any classical clarinet pieces that stand out on their own?

However, I am looking to start a chamber group of amateur musicians (so everyone's at the same level), something like 18 months of experience or less. So far I have one violinist, my neighbors will be thrilled.

Any good suggestions for violin/clarinet duets that beginners can play?
