Many of the standard repertoire pieces for clarinet and orchestra, or clarinet and piano have since been arranged for clarinet and band.
The problem is that they are increasingly difficult to find (some have gone out of print) and many have become quite expensive to purchase.
There have been arrangements done of the different Weber Concerti and Concertino, the Mozart Concerto, and standard solos by Cavallini, Messager, Rossini, Andre-Bloch, Lefebvre, Spohr and even the Poulenc Sonata. (I'm probably leaving out quite a few others)
Their effectiveness varies with the individual arrangement/arranger.
As we've also recently discussed there are different choices in the transcription of K.622 for wind ensemble. The Rondo movement only (arranged by Casteel/Kendor Music) or full arrangements by Robert W. Rumbelow (Alfred Music) or Hunsberger should all still be available.
