 Placement auditions

If this has been covered before, feel free to remove this topic and re-direct me.

I have placement auditions for the Junior Symphony in a little under a month and I have a question regarding one of the excerpts. All five of the clarinet's excerpts are from Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherezade'.

In the third movement at the clarinets first entrance, should the groups of 26 and 32 be played mathematically correct, or in a free and almost ad-libed 'play-from-this-note-to-this-note-in-this-amount-of-time-using-these-notes-inbetween' sort of way? I've only listened to two recordings of it but they were both played fairly freely.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard it both ways, and greatly prefer it freely.

If you just linger on the first note a bit, you can sort of pull the rest of them out, with a further slight linger at the top.

Whatever you do make it sound deliberate and in control.

There are some fairly "standard" interpretations out there. I believe the
Bonade excerpt book has a written out suggested method for playing these groups. Also, listen to an old Cleveland recording with Marcellus for a good start.
