Just remember, we clarinetists need modern music. There's not that much of the old stuff. There are as many types of modern music as there are composers, and there's sure to be something to please anyone's taste. Do you enjoy playing the Copland Concerto, the Poulenc Sonata, the Arnold Sonatina? That's modern music. Do you Enjoy Joan Tower's "Wings"? That's contemporary music.
People still seem to find Schoenberg problematic, but remember, he was a romantic composer at heart. He proved this in "Verklärte Nacht" and "Gurrelieder", and if you listen to Hillary Hahn's recent recording of the Violin Concerto, you'll see that the same romantic spirit pervades his 12-tone music.
