I've played many pieces by many composers who give nothing but harmony and boring stuff to clarinets, and it gets really dull. Clarinets can add a really cool sound to a piece if you use them right.

Not biased at all.

This is a great example of a variety of clarinet-y things, and all woodwinds in general.
P.S. I'm a clarinetist too. ^^
