I played the Mozart oboe concerto on the clarinet. I transposed it and it seems to work pretty well. Has anybody here performed the Mozart oboe concerto on the clarinet?

You could also use the flute concerto as that's all been shunted up a whole tone from the original oboe concerto.
Good job there weren't any recordings done back in the day nor anything in the way of broadcasting media nor much travel going on as not many people would've realised Mozart just made some tweaks and shunted the whole concerto from C Major up to D major and laughed all the way to the bank.
I've heard Marin Frost play either the Marcello or Cimarosa oboe concerto on clarinet, also one of the many Albinoni oboe concertos played on trumpet by Alison Balsom.

I’ve played both of the Mozart and Britten oboe quartets on C clarinet. Very entertaining and the string players were fine with it.

I have performed the Bach Concerto for Oboe d'Amore, BWV 1055, a few times. When played on A clarinet, there's no transposition involved. Just a lovely work; so much fun to play. Give it a whirl.

When people play these works for C instruments on non-C clarinets (i.e., Bb or A), do they typically transpose as they play, or do they make or obtain transposed copies?

After searching YouTube for clarinet performance videos, I found a clarinet player playing it. The link is:
