for a "standardized" audition

"standardized" audition to Sort of speak...

i'm a high school student, and i'm talking about the All state festival
which i feel is like a MCAS or the SAT of high school music life

now.. the audition piece this year is Weber concerto 1
the edition they tell us is the Carl Fischer
this edition is highly edited, and it has some different notes...
i've played weber with a breitkopf edition

like...

6th measure of rehearsal letter I - the notes are G#, B, A, G(natural), F#, E, D, B, E

and there are several more situations like this throughout

SO, my question is..... should i play as this edition is printed
or play what it's "supposed to be"?

I agree. If they bothered to specify an edition, that's what they want to hear, regardless of whether it has been edited. If you play what they want to hear, you will fare better at the audition than if you play it the way you prefer.

Do make sure that there aren't more than one of that publisher's editions.

Then you have to play exactly as printed. Still play it musically, but stay true to the edition.
