Go for gold. Get the 12 duets for two wind instruments by Mozart. There are several versions, but the one I use and like is published by Gerard Billaudot in Paris and edited by Guy Dangain. Universal Verlag in Vienna have wonderful two-clarinet arrangements of Mozart's German dances and Laendler, the Magic Flute and Don Giovanni (a bit more tricky). If you are relatively new to the instrument, I strongly recommend the classical duets edited by Jacques Lancelot and again published by Billaudot which go from easy to quite advanced. Even the easy ones, while technically straightforward, are a musical challengel. There are some beautiful duets by Wiedemann, and when you get more advanced you will have the duets of Crusell to explore. I particularly love "Four Concertante Duets" by John Mahon, published by Musikverlag Gottfried Aegler. Elgar's sonatine for two clarinets (edited by Pamela Weston) is another of my favorites. If you like 20th century music, you might like to take a look at Richard Rodney Bennett's Conversations for Two Clarinets. And if you want a real challenge, you can find some marvellous arrangements of pieces from the Barber of Seville, arranged by Feher Laszlo Gabor, by searching through the sheet music section on this site. Good luck.
