I reccomend any of the younger Stamitz concerti...or even the elder
Stamitz (although his work is lesser known, I like it better than his
son's work) one concerto. They are technically showy without being too
finger tangly, and you should have one pieced together decently in two
weeks, and in a month, it should sound quite good...assuming you put in a
solid chunk of time in daily. Just like any audition practice binge.

^_^

(Although orchestral auditions also allow sonatas...I dunno, I don't like
using sonatas for auditions, because often they have plenty of long rests,
since sonatas are piano/clarinet works.)
