Hi Peter,
Have you ever played the Rhapsody for clarinet and strings or piano (1940) by Geoffrey Bush (1920-1998) ? The piano version was published, and the string parts are still for hire, but I recently discovered I had inherited the handwritten score and parts given to the dedicatee, Kenneth Hunt, who moved to Australia from the UK in the late 40's. It is marked "Christmas 1940" which is quite astonishing when you think about it. It's a lovely work, very much inspired by Vaughan Williams.
With it I also found an unpublished work, Two Epigrams for viola, clarinet and piano (December, 1940), which was completely unknown. I'm working with the family to get it published.
I reckon both pieces would be right up your alley...
