Nick,
This is NOT a stupid question!!!!!!!!!! Nor is it lazy. It is very
difficult to find Urtext edition. As far as I know, there are no Weber
ones. I seem to remember that Eric Simon, in his "Masterworks
for the Clarinet" collection, mentioned
that his edition follows one at a German museum but I forget the detail.
If you can get hold of it, you'll at least have a starting point. It is
possible that you could get the museum to send you a photocopy of the
manuscript. Unfortunately, Simon passed on a few years ago so he is not
available to ask. Good luck.
