Subj: Re: [kl] "Adapting" for an audition

Here's a tip for you.

If there is going to be a piano accompanist available at your audition, for the Mozart, as there was at the last Lyric Opera Audition -

Call ahead and see what pitch they use. I showed up with mouthpiece and barrel ready to play at A=440 (or slightly higher) and was confronted with a very sharp piano. I don't even want to guess where that sucker was.

A very disconcerting situation to be in - right in front of the committee!!!!!!
