 Hi all,
 
 Without any doubt, Mozart's concerto is the most frequently performed clarinet concerto, but I don't know which one is the second. Weber No.1, Copland or Nielsen? Any estimation?

 Weber Concertino
 
 I would wager Weber 2 is performed more than Weber 1 (at least in the US).

 I'm with David on that -
 The Debussy.  Although it is not really a "concerto."
 
 Folks should try the Bernstein.  Quite nice!

 I'll direct you to one of  my old posts here where I did a survey of some 450 orchestras in the United States and their annual repertoire.  This was from 2013-2014.  At that time, the most played clarinet pieces were:
 
 W. Mozart: Clarinet Concerto (15 performances)
 A. Copland: Concerto for Clarinet (7 performances)
 C.M.v. Weber: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 (3 performances)
 C. Debussy: Premiere Rhapsody (3 performances)
 C.M.v. Weber: Clarinet Concerto No. 2 (2 performances)
 C. Nielsen: Clarinet Concerto (2 performances)
 M. Bruch: Clarinet/Viola Double Concerto (2 performances)
 O. Navarro: II Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (2 performances)
 A. Messager: Solo de Concours (1 performance)
 B. Crussell: Clarinet Concerto in F Minor (1 performance)
 C.M.v. Weber: Concertino (1 performance)
 C.M.v. Weber: Fantasia and Rondo (1 performance)
 C. Stamitz: Concerto for Two Clarinets in B-Flat (1 performance)
 F. Krommer: Concerto for Two Clarinets in Eb Major (1 performance)
 G. Tsontakis: Anasa: Concerto for Clarinet (1 performance)
 G. Rossini: Theme and Variations (1 performance)
 J. Stephenson: Liquid Melancholy (1 performance)
 J. Williams: Viktor's Tale from The Terminal (1 performance)
 J. Phibbs: Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, and Harp (1 performance)
 L. Liebermann: Clarinet Concerto (1 performance)
 N. Resanovic: Collateral Damage (1 performance)
 R. Danielpour: Clarinet Concerto (1 performance)
 S. Gryc: Dance Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (1 performance)
 S. Reich: New York Counterpoint (1 performance)
 W. Lutoslawski: Dance Preludes (1 performance)
 
 I'm currently doing this for Europe for 2015-2016 and when that's done I'll give an update.  With the top 3, from my memory, that's not going to change much.
