"Strict" piece: The third of Stravinsky's Three Pieces, the last movement of the Hindemith Clarinet Sonata, or the last movement of the Malcolm Arnold Clarinet Sonatina.

Romantic piece: A movement from one of the Brahms Sonatas or Robert Schumann Fantasy Pieces.

Baroque: There's the Handel Clarinet Concerto, a creation of Sir John Barbirolli. I'm not very familiar with it, but there might be some part of it you can use. You might also want to consider the Tartini Concertino, arranged for clarinet by Gordon Jacob. I'm not sure if any of the movements have exactly what you're looking for, a "strict basso continuo and a free melody line on top," but I think the second movement comes close.

I'm not sure exactly how this would fit in, but I'd also consider the Copland Clarinet Sonata (the composer's transcription of his violin sonata). I can't explain why, but I think parts of this sonata would fit in perfectly with the speaker's topic.
