My choice of music would be considered by others to be highly typical: from sections of all 3 movements of the Mozart, to test sound, overtones, ability to play loud and soft, pitch, articulation, etc., as well as Sphor's 1st to see if I could hit double high C.
Nothing about the music I would choose, or why I would choose it would be surprising, and would read like a greatest hits of classical clarinet solos and orchestra excerpts. I'd seek other's opinions as well.
But what may be unusual is I also try sight reading. I seek to find just how flexible the mouthpiece is to (me and) the fact that "I immediately have to play a low G after just having played a quiet high A, and I didn't know that was coming."
There's nothing like throwing yourself into a state of unknown to see how well your tools work for you, and how well you work with your tools.
