This thread on auditions, brings to mind a question I found myself freque=
ntly
asking in college and high school. Which makes the bigger first impressio=
n:
technique or musicality? I heard a lot of players that had fabulous techn=
ique,
but they were about as interesting as a flat midi file. All the notes wer=
e
there, but there was no feeling in it.

So my question stands. For those of you who have judged auditions, given =
a
player that fumbles a couple of notes but plays musically, or a player th=
at
hits every not perfectly but plays like a monotone, which would you rank =

higher?

I realise this is a loaded question, but I am very curious to hear others=
'
thoughts on this.
