My latest assignment for the Sacramento chamber workshop is with a violin and cello. Any suggestions for a 5 to 10 minute piece for this instrumentation (Clarinet, violin and cello)? I've checked the data base and couldn't find anything. Either there's nothing or I'm not searching correctly. Gary Van Cott lists a Joseph Haydn piece but nothing else on his website. (The Haydn may be fine; I don't know anything about it.) Perhaps someone knows of a more recent piece. Any thoughts are appreciated.

This is available free:
Beethoven, Ludwig van - Piano Sonata "Pathetique" Adagio Rondo for Clarinet, Violin and Cello
It is downloadable here:
http://www.clarinetinstitute.com/Pdf%20files/Chamber/%5BClarinet_Institute%5D%20Beethoven%20Pathetique%20Sonata%20Rondo%20Cl%20Vln%20Cel.pdf
I don't think this is a clickable link so you will have to copy and paste. I hope it helps.

I meant to add that this seems to be the only piece for the instrumentation you asked for.

Regarding pieces for cl/vln/vcl, among the original pieces:
Fuchs, Georg Friedrich (1752-1851) Trio Concertant in G minor op. 64/3
Haydn, Franz Joseph (1732-1809) 3 Trios Hob IV Es 1, Es 2, B 1 (Peters)
Trento, M, Grande Preludio
Among the arrangements:
On Werner Icking's site (http://icking-music-archive.org/index.php) there is an arrangement of WF Bach's Fugue à Trois (E minor)
Mozart's 5 basset horn Divertimenti K.439 (Anh. 229) arranged for vln/fl, cl and vcl/bsn (International).

Any string trio (violin, viola, cello) is easily playable on violin, clarinet and cello. You read the viola part as if it were in bass clef and delete two flats.
The challenge is to "play like a viola," blending with the strings and finding a way to imitate string effects. You can simulate a pizzicato, for example, buy a hard sfz attack followed by almost sucking the air back into the clarinet.
It's great practice in stretching your abilities and finding out new things you can do on the clarinet. And you get to play great music, such as the gigantic Mozart Divertimento in Eb, K. 563, which is a masterpiece even by Mozart's standards. http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/nma_cont.php?vsep=181&gen=edition&l=1&p1=121.
If you're brave, try the Dohnányi Serenade, Op.10, which has a gorgeous viola solo at the beginning of the second movement http://imslp.org/wiki/Serenade,_Op.10_%28Dohn%C3%A1nyi,_Ern%C5%91%29.
There are also the Haydn divertimenti for flute, violin and cello (a C clarinet would be useful) http://imslp.org/index.php?title=Category:Haydn,_Joseph&until=Piano+sonata+no.0047+hob.xvi%3A0032%2C+b+minor+%28haydn%2C+joseph%29 and the trios (arranged from piano sonatas) http://imslp.org/wiki/3_String_Trios,_Op.53_%28Haydn,_Joseph%29.
There are many more at <site:imslp.org string trio>.
Or you might play pieces for flute (oboe), clarinet and bassoon https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=site%3Aimslp.org+clarinet+trio+-piano&oq=site%3Aimslp.org+clarinet+trio+-piano&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=14083l16875l0l18554l7l7l0l6l0l0l127l127l0.1l1l0.
Most trios without piano can be done <site:imslp.org trio -piano>. The problem is not finding music but choosing among the great pieces.

Absolutely check out Serenade op. 93 by Hans Gal -- you can find sound samples here:
http://www.hansgal.com/soundlinks/op93.html
This is an original composition from 1935, beautiful and perfectly scored for the clarinet -- and way more substantial than the likes of the Haydn trios. For your assignment, you could pick the 3rd and 4th movement, for instance.

I bought the Haydn pieces some years ago and played them in a concert, then lost the music somehow and have never had the slightest desire to find it. I was not impressed by these pieces, my colleagues were slightly annoyed at being asked to perform them and the audience seemed relieved when it was over.

There is a piece by Ingolf Dahl. It is called Sonata a tre.
It is worth looking up.

Thank you everyone for your great suggestions. (And Donald, for your pithy analysis!) This will give me lots to work with.

Ed, I've tried to contact you through Email but I can't get through.
Anyways, are you in the Elk Grove community band? There is a good chance that sometime, somewhere we were within 5 miles of each other and did not know it.

There are hundreds of trio sonatas for two flutes or violins plus cello or bass continuo that could be used, many from the classical and earlier eras. One of the treble parts can either be transposed by sight or rewritten for clarinet. A favorite of mine is the trio sonata for two oboes and bass continuo by Vivaldi, found in a Swedish library and published by Musica Rara. While not terribly difficult, it is a wonderful musical composition of three fairly short movements. Good luck!

I ordered the Hans Gal serenade after listening to the excerpts from B&H in London, only to receive a message from them today saying they don't have it after all. If anyone has another lead to it, I'd be grateful.

Oca -- you can contact me directly at lowry.ed@gmail.com. I live in Sacramento and haven't played with the Elk Grove band. I was with the American River College Band in the '90s, but lately have been limited to the Sacramento Chamber Music group and the Sac State CalCap summer program at the end of July.

I dug around in some old catalogs and found these:
Beckerath, Alfred Musik fur 3 Litolff
Busch, Adolf German Dance Breitkopf
Gentilucci, Armando Epitaffio Sonzogno
Herbst, Rudolf Bayerische Tanze Grosch
Blumer, Th. Trio, op 55 Simrock
Hoddinott, Alun Nocturnes and Cadenzas Oxford
Huber, Klaus 6 Miniatures Heinrichshofen
Proksch 6 Trios , op 4 Breitkopf
Roters, Ernst Trio, op 26b Simrock
Wagner, Joseph Serenade Peer
Custer, Arthur Permutations General
Heussenstamm, George Trio Seesaw
Waters Serenade Peters
Weber, Ben Concertino, op 11b ACA
Nowak, Lionel Trio ACA
Huggler, John Trio ACA
It's strange that no big name composers have written for this combination, Also, there are many more pieces for Cl, Vla, Vc than for Cl, Vl, Vc.
