I have been trying to find an arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue recently that is written for solo clarinet with piano accompaniment and have been unable to find a good version out there. I was wondering if someone has a version of this piece that they own or know of someplace I might be able to find it. I have already tried a google search and a search at sheetmusic.com. Any help is appreciated!

That would certainly be easier to locate, but I had heard that there was a version for solo clarinet out there somewhere.

I imagine it would be difficult to find, and of questionable quality, likely a custom job. Rhapsody in Blue is primarily a piece for piano with orchestral accompaniment, including a couple cool clarinet licks.
Playing it as clarinet with piano accompaniment is not entirely unlike playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1 as horn with piano, Mahler's Symphony #1 as Eb clarinet with piano, or Die Valkure as trombone and piano.
As much as clarinetists like Rhapsody, it's not a clarinet piece.

There is an arrangement by a Russian named Dokshitzer (or Dokshitser) for trumpet and piano, published by Reift. A catalogue I've seen lists it as being for trumpets in B flat and C, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly (if not all) for B flat.
A Google search will reveal places you can order it.

So.....why don't you just purchase the piano score and play it alone as written.....
