<< Dallas Symphony's tape audition requirements includes the Variation (1919
version). I have two editions both are marked 1919 version. One includes the
questionable lick one bar before rehearsal #14. For the purposes of the tape
should I play the questionable passage? ( I understand it was probably scored
for the alto flute). I've practiced the passage so much I think I can finally
play it, but have to admit the piece of mind you get from omitting it is (to
quote Martha Stewart) "a good thing." Shouldn't the fact that a specific
edition has been requested be enough to free us from questions. Is it just me
that still questions this passage? I welcome your opinions. >>

Hey Mario, my guess is that it really doesn't matter one way or the other.
What they are interested in is a steady 6/8 from beginning to end. Otherwise
you can call and ask. Most of the time with tapes they only listen to small
portions anyway, to get a general idea. Same thing with the various
aritculations marked in different editions of this piece.
