Question
Hi,

My question is in regards to a community orchestra audition.
They only specify one or two pieces or excerpts unaccompanied.
They don't say how many minutes we get.

I was thinking of just the first expositions from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto Movements 2 and 3.

Also, maybe the Szalowski Sonatina Number 1 as something modern and different if I could play all 3.

What are your thougths?
Thank you

Answer
Hi,

The exposition from the first movement of Mozart is most commonly used at auditions, so that would be perfect. Add something contasting - maybe Stravinsky 3 Pieces. Excerpts could be from Beethoven 6th or 8th...

Szalowski would be fine - probably anything that you do will be fine (including movements 2 and 3 of Mozart, even though the first movement is a bit better).

Good luck!
