My advice is to find out exactly which edition you are supposed to play for the audition. Ideally, you would want an A clarinet and you would want to play the edition written for the A clarinet. You might ask if you are required to play the piece with or without piano. If not, find out if you can play the version for A clarinet on a Bb clarinet. Schumann did not mean for you to play in B major... that's why he wrote it for the A clarinet (and the A produces a darker more mellow sound which I believe he wanted for the piece). Playing in 5 sharps on a Bb clarinet generally makes a person sound quite bright not to mention that the technical work may hinder the flow of the musical lines. So, I recommend finding out more information before learning the Bb version only to be disappointed later.
Best of luck to you! Let us know what you find out!
