I'll add my 2¢ worth. I would buy the solo in treble clef and slog through it as a way to learn treble clef. My opinion is that all serious euphonium players should learn treble, bass and tenor clefs. Wait until you tackle Symphonic Variants, where Curnow pops you back and forth from bass to tenor. The same thing happens in much of the trombone literature.
Besides, knowing treble opens up the world of the brass band as a playing opportunity.
I learned alto clef by slogging through a score note by note, because I wanted to play
Elegie, the piece from Thomas Ruedi's alblum of the same name. It's originally for viola, and that's the clef they play in, and was the only arrangement I could find.
