Subj: About to do a 2nd clarinet audition
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 19:28:55 -0400

Hello everyone!

I am about to do a 2nd clarinet audition and they of course ask excerpts for
both 1st and second clarinets. This is my first 2nd clarinet audition and I
was wondering how it usually works at the time of the audition?!? Does the
audition panel hear only 1st clarinet excerpts in the first round and then
hear 2nd clarinet excerpts in the 2nd round or they want to hear both
clarinets' excerpts in the first round? Or do they "make" you play with the
1st player the 2nd clarinet excerpts after the first round or in the finals? I
am clueless so if anyone feels like giving me their opinion, go ahead! and I
am all ears!

Thank you very much in advance for all the information one will give me!
