All the different editions differ mostly in articulations added by the editor--the original of the Weber Concertino would not have had any articulations marked at all, since it was expected that performers would use articulations that made sense and suited their playing. If you're trying to decide what edition to buy, Fretone recently came out with a very good edition--minimal editorial additions, plus a transcribed cadenza by Baermann. Other editions, however, will probably be as good; you might want to wait for more responses to your question before you decide which edition you want. Hope this helps!

I have an edition edited by Stanley Drucker(published by International Music Company) because of its lowest price although I went to sheet music shop to buy Leduc edition by Jaque Lancelot.I thought that to an amateur like me, anything will do!
p.s. FYI.
Even Rose 32 etudes have many editions,and serious editors research the original editions kept at Paris Concervatoire.
But to make the matter confusing, composers himselves/herselves change their compositions often. An example is Poulenc "flute sonata" by Chester Music.
Uhrtext is a german word for original edition of a composition. I know only two: Brahms clarnet sonatas by Viena Uhrtext and Bach flute sonatas by Baerenreiter Uhrtext.

Hiroshi -
Sorry to be picky, but the German prefix for "original" is "ur". "Uhr" means "clock". Therefore, it's "urtext" and not "uhrtext".
Maybe 25 years ago, Eric Simon published an urtext edition of the Weber clarinet works, and I think Pamela Weston has made one too.

One thing to remember about Urtext - it may not be the preferred edition if it is the 1st edition. There may have been corrections by the composer in a later edition. It's alway fun to try and figure out which edition is the "right" edition!
