Where can I find a copy of Webers First Concerto in F minor online (for free?)? Is this possible??? Ack! Oh yeah...my audition for orchestra went horribly. If anyone knows how to limit nervousness during auditions, do tell!
Thanx!

You might try a used book store that takes-in old music. You never know what you may find
if you look in one of them or in the old stacks at some large music store. There's no free copy
of the Weber 1st, but there are several good editions - likewise of the Weber 2nd (in my opinion a far more gratifying work, especially the slow-movement). If you'll contact me, I may be able to give you more details of the various "folios" that contain not only the Weber, but several other "standard" concerti.

I am looking at a copy right now on page 119 of The Clarinet by Otto Langey published by Boosey and Hawkes #3598. Maybe it is in a library somewhere.

You can find midi versions of Weber No. 1 at:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/main-w.html
or:
http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/clarmusi/clarmusi.htm
Both appear to have the same versions. The second is Oliver Seely's site.
If you have music notation software that can read midi files and extract parts, you can print out a copy. However, you won't get articulation, dynamics, etc. -- just the notes. On the other hand, you can use the computer as an accompanist.
If you're willing to spend a little time digging, you may be able to find free music notation software here:

Lime might be a possibility.
Of course, you could always use the link at the top of this page to jump to Sheet Music Plus where you can buy copy for as little as $8.95 (Carl Fischer) or $2.50 for the clarinet part alone (Kalmus).
If you are looking for a recording, rather than the sheet music, try:
