I'd suggest that if the audition isn't set up with required excerpts, play
music that's as hard as you can comfortably handle under the intense
pressure of this situation; usually something slow to show tone and
intonation, then something faster for finger dexterity, evenness of rhythm
and possibly lightness of articulation. Be careful to count fully all
rests shorter than 3 bars and all long notes! Good luck,
