I decided to do my first professional audition and so applied for a principal clarinet position that came up recently. Today I received the excerpts in the mail, 14 days ahead of the audition. All *17* of them. Some I've never seen before, because they're from ballet and opera repertoire (it's that kind of orchestra) and some I know quite well.
This was a shock to me, because I'm used to auditioning for youth orchestras where there can be up to 8 excerpts, all standards that I probably audition on twice or more a year.
Are all professional auditions like this? 17 excerpts, mozart concerto, 14 day's notice? Does a 'true' professional already know all these excerpts, and an audition like this is just a matter of refreshing music already learned?
