It's not at IMSLP. It's unavailable at the Neue Mozart Ausgabe site. I found it on our favorite clarinet site using the Wayback Machine but only half of it was archived. ¿Can someone help me out?

There was a discussion about this a few years ago, and here's a link:

Elmo -
The Winterthur Fragment is a sketch in Mozart's hand for about the first third of the first movement of the Clarinet Concerto, written for basset horn in G. It trails off into just the solo line. There are significant differences between it and what we know as the Mozart Concerto, and it's fascinating to follow along. There's a good recording of it it by Gilles Thome on a hypothetical period basset horn in G. http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Jacquin-Lehtipuu-Ensemble-Banchini/dp/B00002R15T/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1262199776&sr=8-16
Mark had the Winterthur Fragment up on this site for a while, but the Mozarteum, which owns the manuscript, asked him to take it down, and he complied.
It has nevertheless been published several times, most recently as an appendix to the Clarinet Concerto in the New Mozart Edition. Go to http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/nmapub_srch.php?l=2, type 621b in the search box at the top to the right of the KV box and press the Enter key. Then look in the Results box and click on the red link that says "V/14/4, p. 165." The MS goes from page 165 through 176. You need to click the "More" button at the bottom of the page a couple of times to get the complete MS. It's printable, but comes out small. It's better to print it to a file, load it and increase the magnification.
The Mozarteum asserts that it has, or may have, the right to restrict the distribution of the Winterthur Fragment. You can see their very ambiguous claim notice when you put your cursor anywhere in the image. However, that right applies only to material that has never been "published" (i.e., made available to the public even once), and the fragment has been distributed and made available on the web numerous times. Nevertheless, Mark quite reasonably didn't want to get involved in a lawsuit or poison relations with the Mozarteum.
The notice in the New Mozart Edition appears to permit anyone to download and print the manuscript, so long as you do it for private use and don't distribute it.
