I was wondering if there are any good clarinet books out there that I could get that has good pieces for auditioning. I am an intermediate clarinet player capable of playing music at a moderate pace. Please post the name of the book.

A good book is "Solos for the clarinet player" edited by Arthur Christmann and published by G. Schirmer. It contains many movements and pieces at about the level your talking about.
