Re: Mozart or Weber?

One one hand, it's good to know the Mozart well because everyone and their dog requires it for auditions.

On the other hand, if it's not a requirement for the audition, it's nice to hear something different, and I don't think I've ever even heard Weber 1.3 at a masterclass or known anyone auditioning on it (OK, limited experience in those realms, but I've heard more than plenty of Mozart).

I'd go for the Weber, as a breath of fresh air. The committee will be less particular about every last nitpicky detail because they don't hear it as often, and probably will not have 8 other performances of it that day to compare it to.
