No need for even that with the Eb Concerto. Just change the key and reflect the accidentals accordingly. Read it as bass clef.

Reading the original Eb part (as described above) is easiest and cheapest. However, it can be found in Graham's "Concert Music for Tuba", along with quite a few other (mostly) transcriptions form the horn literature (Mozart concerti, etc.) (and as an aside, another great collection of transcriptions designed to be performed with the original piano parts is the grouping that Micky Wrobleski put together--that one can be obtained from windsongpress--under the chicken scratch press listings)

There you go. This collection has several good tunes in it. You just need to find the piano part, but you can use the original horn/piano part for that. There are a couple or errors in the Graham version but they are easy to find and fix.

Thompson Editions has an arrangement for soloist and concert band of the Strauss Concerto #1 opus 11 with a part for tuba in bass clef. I have used it for recitals using my Eb tuba. It works great.

I also used to be a competent horn player. The Strauss Concerto # 1 is originally for horn in F. I am not aware of a version for horn in Eb. However, if you own an F tuba and know trumpet fingerings, you can play the F horn part using treble clef trumpet fingerings on the F tuba.
