Re: What is to be thought of transcriptions and arrangements?

Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata works wonderfully on clarinet, and even better on bass clarinet. There are some string-crossing passages that don't lie well, and you need a perfectly controlled altissimo A6, but all of that is doable. You must also at least consider using some vibrato.

I love Kreisler's Sicilienne & Rigaudon. It's an encore piece, though, and the second part calls for a light, fast staccato at a time when you're tired.

I agree about the Schumann romances. The inexpensive Schirmer edition even comes with a part for clarinet (in A). You must really let the sentiment flow. As MichaelW says, listen to Albrecht Meyer and Helene Grimaud to hear how they should be done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOGvHTXY2Us.

The Brahms Violin Sonata #3 will work, but it calls for much more passion than clarinetists are used to giving. Listen to Isaac Stern, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khd3CxoVQ30.

Reginald Kell transcribed a delightful Gigue by Corelli (originally for violin) and a Sicilienne and Gigue by Handel (originally for recorder). He played them particularly well, too.
