I have to do a 15 minute recital at Christmas of contempary pieces. Can anyone suggest any that are interesting to play. I can flutter tongue and slap tongue and could probably do harmonics just not tried yet
Thanks in advance

How old can a piece be and still count as "contemporary" for your purposes? (Le Sacre is still considered "modern" by some, despite being 100 years old.)

Allan Blank. "Diversions" for solo clarinet.
Great piece. "Modern," but accessible.

Does anyone have an audio/video of the Allan Blank Diversions? I can't find it on YouTube and wanted to have a listen to see if I would be able to play it.
Also, there is a piece where the Clarinet plays into a pedal timpani which has coins on it. It sounds like a really interesting piece but I can't find it either. Does anyone know what it is called?

I have a piece that might be suitable, which I composed a few years ago, Hommage to Hindemith, which has a different title in the file name, sorry about that, I changed the title later. It's contemporary in the fact it's recently composed and uses an unusual scale. (the whole tone scale starting on A concert) The extreme dissonance in one bar is completely intentional.

Many years ago, I picked up a copy of Michael Webster's Five Pieces for Solo Clarinet. It's interesting music, but quite difficult. The second movement has a lot of quarter tones, although Webster provides fingerings.
