I have forgotten 2 composers who wrote for clarinet (among other Wind ctos):the italian S.Mercadante(1795-1870),see Orfeo C114041A or Clarinet Classics CC042 and above him, the finnish (of german descent) : Bernhard Henrik Crusell (1775-1838) :-\

already mentioned in this thread though thanks!

Don't hope to find some clarinet Paganini composing for himself,the only minor one player/composer was Joseph Beer (1744-1812)revived by maestro Klöcker (cd Koch-Schwann 3-6422-2h1,1997),see alsoHeinrich Joseph Baermann (1784-1847)thanks to Klocker again (cd OrfeoC065011A),and Iwan Mûller (1786-1854) on a MDG cd (901 1846-6 in 2014)

there are some dubious works/arrangements/kontrafakturen by Beethoven,J Haydn recorded byD.Klöcker on Orfeo and THE violin concerto (Beethoven!)op.61 arranged by M.Pletnev for Michael Collins (cd DG 457652-2,2000)coupled with Mozart great one !

Baermann used to be well known because a work of his was attributed to Wagner (similarly Küffner/Weber...)

Do you....just not actually read any other posts but your own, Redieze?

I am not quite sure if qualifies the Duet-Concertino for clarinet, bassoon and string orchestra with harp by Richard Strauss (in another thread I mis-named it Idyll Concertino).
Fairly represented on record, it seems rather underperformed.
