NOTES ON PREPARING THE EXCERPTS:
Prepare all audition excerpts as provided on the following pages.
Bracketed portions only (if indicated) will be heard at the auditions.
Tempo: if there is a metronome mark observe it strictly; if there is no metronome mark it is your
responsibility to make a knowledgeable choice of tempo (consult your teacher; listen to
recordings, for example). Maintain a steady tempo in your playing.
Rests: count all rests of up to four measures.
Generally pay attention to accurate note values and rhythmic patterns; accurate pitches and clean
intonation; good tone; accurate and clearly conveyed dynamics.
Be sure you understand all foreign language indications.
If the music calls for a mute practise the excerpt muted (and be ready to play it muted at your
audition).
In ‘divisi’ passages prepare the upper line.
Listen to recordings and/or you-tube videos.
