Hey I was wondering which piece would be better to do for an Honor Band Audition. Henri Rabaut's Solo De Concours, or the 4th movement of Saint-Saens Opus 167. Any information would be appreciated thank you. Oh and this is for county honor band..not state or anything.

You get to pick for county? We didn't...one year it was Spohr 1. Anywho, I would say Saint-Saens.

I'd go with the Saint-Saens, just because I like his music better. The Solo de Concours is not as artfully done, in my opinion. I think Saint-Saens shows off the clarinet's (and clarinetist's) ability more...but that's merely my opinion.

The Rabaud is a lot harder..... and can give you more shots at messing up. The Saens sounds as hard, but lays a lot easier. You will get more flash for the effort with the Saint Saens I feel. Don't rush it, and always, always play it musically - should not ever sound like a scale study!!!!
