Question

Answer 1

My favorite piece is called "Invicta". Maybe you should try that.

Answer 2

So I have  few ideas, although I don't know quite what level you are...

there's a compilation book, level 3-5:

Or another set of solos by the "big" classical composers, arranged for levels 2-4:

Also try Le Tambourin by Jean-Philippe Rameau... it's a little on the fast side, but a really cool solo piece.  http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_...

If you are advanced, you could try the Clarinet Concertino by Carl Maria von Weber... although this is college level, so it may be above your ability for now- keep it in the back of your mind to try in a few years.

Hope this helped.  :)
