I'm just not sure what kind of piece to start next. I am in my third year of study at college, and I'm going after a music ed degree. So far I have loved working on the Saint Saens Sonata, the Finzi Bagatelles, the Martinu Sonatina, and the Schumann Fantasy Pieces.
Do you have any suggestions for a piece (or a movement of a piece) that is at my level but still beautiful and emote-y? I love sappy pieces that are slow, and/or pieces that have that "folk song" or "song" element to them.
Suggestions? Thank you all so much!

Copland Concerto Andante is definitely a must for your taste of music. Check out the Richard Stoltzman and Michael Tilson Thomas recording on youtube!

What about the Burgmuller Duo or the Stanford Sonata or Intermezzi?

1. Vaughan Williams--Six Studies in English Folksong
2. Paul Ben Haim--Three Songs Without Words
3. Paul Ben Haim--Pastorale variée (this is a great piece, well worth trying, but quite a challenge largely because it is long with very few breaks for the soloist)
4. Carl Nielsen--Fantasy for Clarinet and Piano
5. Aaron Copland--Clarinet Sonata (his authorized transcription of his violin sonata)
6. Srul Irving Glick--Suite Hebraique (he wrote several pieces with this title, and at least two are available for clarinet)
7. Darius Milhaud--Duo Concertante
8. Max Bruch--Kol Nidrei--Transcribed for clarinet and piano by Charles Salinger (Roncorp Publications)

I love the Nielsen Fantasy--I performed it several years ago, and actually have a couple of recordings of it.
You could also try the Debussy Petite Piece.
Heinrich Baermann's Adagio for clarinet is one I love too
The Larghetto from Mozart's clarinet quintet, or the Adagio from his concerto.
Hope that helps!

The Schumann 3 Romances for Oboe work beautifully on A clarinet. The very inexpensive Schirmer edition includes a part for A clarinet. Schumann definitely had the oboe's plangent tone in mind. To match that, particularly on the A clarinet, you should experiment with a brighter, "narrower" tone than usual.
Alec Templeton wrote two lovely "Pocket-Size Sonatas" that have a light jazz feel in some of the movements.
Reginald Kell arranged several Handel flute sonata movements and a particularly nice Corelli Gigue for clarinet.
The Hindemith Sonata lends itself well to a singing style. See http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=68948&t=68671
The Bernstein Sonata, at least in the first movement, is full of song.
The Schubert Arpeggione Sonata works beautifully on clarinet and is the ultimate in songful music.
Find a soprano and do Shepherd on the Rock.
