If I didn't sufficiently highlight Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, one of the greatest chamber music pieces of the 20th century. I heard it performed in recital by Metropolitan Opera principal Anthony McGill shortly before he played at Obama's inauguration. He is one amazing clarinet player.
You mention some other great works featuring the clarinet, but not necessarily in a solo role. If we're going in that direction, I'll add Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, with those delicious clarinet solos representing the cat. Also, though not quite on the level of some of the music under discussion, Carl Maria von Weber's quintet and concertino are not to be missed.
