Jon,

I think that the Neilson would be overkill at these auditions.

What you have seems very meaty and would give testimony to your abilities.

It has been my experience that no matter what you prepare, they will always
ask for some of what you have not done...esp. with the Mozart and
Weber...(know the movements you plan to not do)...that way you will be ready.

Also, brush up on your minor scales...they helped me tremendously in my
transfer situation over 25 years ago and still hold true today.

I would also have ready a repetoire listing inclusive of orchestral/band
literature; solo work; small ensemble works, etc. This gives the audititoner
some added food for thought!

Hope you do well.
