You've no doubt (I hope) learned the entire piece - there really isn't that
much of it to begin with. The general rule is that wherever you feel weakest
is the part they'll want to hear, so the advice from here is to slow down,
relax, work with a metronome, and spend the most time on the parts you're
most worried about.

Although it's true you probably won't get to play the whole piece, the
Concertino clarinet part without any of the orchestral transitions is barely
10 minutes long, so an audition could cover a good chunk of it, especially
if your first impression on the auditioner is a good one.

Good luck.
