Can anyone suggest a fast etude and a slow etude for college entrance audition?

From the Rose 32 there are 16 "fast" ones and 16 slow(er) ones.
Just about any two contrasting ones would be fine...
How about #5 and #26?

Agreeing with GBK,
It is important to determine whether you're talking about the Rose 40 etudes (in two volumes) or the Rose (32) studies (which he "stole" from Ferling).
If you are comfortable you can also add what schools you are thinking about...that can make a difference.

Here's how a approach finding audition music: go through the etudes and pick out the ones that you genuinely enjoy playing and won't mind working on just about every day for a few months. Then find the one that you think will best show off your technical abilities, and the one that you think will best show off you stylistic abilities. I didn't actually use etudes, but when I went through my college auditions I had a few pieces that I was working on, and just narrowed it down. I ended up deciding on the Cavallini Adagio e Tarantella, which worked out really nicely. Really the most important thing is that it has to be something you *enjoy* playing, otherwise there's going to be a lot of unnecessary stress and frustration throughout the whole process. Hope this helps.

I didn't know Uhl wrote the Rose Etudes. I learn something new every day.
Best regards,

Jack, I couldn't agree more. Not to knock the etudes by Uhl, but the OP has asked a very specific question.

Number 19 is my favorite. It has the most room for expression out of all the "slow" etudes, IMHO.

Sorry but I just couldn't help recommend the Uhl etudes as I found them to be one of the best out there.

I'd like to hear your reasons why ...GBK

I played 5 and 26 from the Rose 32 for my auditions last year.
I'm glad GBK approves :p

Iceland-
You do realize that if the poster followed your advice and played Uhl instead of Rose, he or she would be rejected instantly from the program. Do you see how unhelpful this is?

Actually it is for my son. He is applying for a saxophone performance major or jazz major at different Universities such as Eastman, University of North Texas, University of Texas at Austin, Cal State Long Beach, University of Redlands (which is about 20 miles from home) University of Southern California. and maybe even others.
I have heard that he will need to learn the clarinet to enter some of these universities so the past year he is practicing the clarinet and he is doing well. If he continues at his present progress he might be able to do the Saint Saens' sonata movement IV in about 2 to 3 months. enough to be able to post in youtube. Yes his strenght lies in his speed.
We were thinking that if he auditions he might be asked or he might volunteer to show his ability to double on a clarinet and so since the Rose Etudes are very well accepted and known then We thought we might get some Rose Etude Material.
We have posted in YouTube

We hope we can post the Saint Saens in the next couple of months
Thank you everyone for your reply and your help

Iceland clarinet,
I don't have the Uhl in my cabinet, so I'll order them...thanks for the suggestion.
"You do realize that if the poster followed your advice and played Uhl instead of Rose, he or she would be rejected instantly from the program. Do you see how unhelpful this is?"
Vin...where did Paumartin say that at all in any of his posts? Isn't it just as unhelpful to make stuff up as it is to not answer the question?

well Uhl was up at similar time as Rudolf Jettel and he has also composed a quartet for 3 clarinets and bass clarinet and Kleines Konsert for Clarinet,Viola and Piano. It's also very helpful when you've gone through this studies to play them all again on the bass clarinet a bit tricky.

Just FYI...Rose Etude #26 is one of the All-State audition pieces this year in Texas, so practically every HS clarinet player in the state is working on it (at least the serious ones are). And it's likely that if you have a clarinetist judging the audition, they're probably either working on that piece with their HS students or that they're judging All-Region or All-Area tryouts where that piece will be played.
Don't really know if that's good or bad, but since the OP mentioned two Texas schools, I figured he'd want to know.

That's great inside information MRN!
Because the piece will have been heard over and over again by the clarinet members of your audition committee, I would think is smart to pick a technical etude that "contrasts" 26...perhaps one of the 3/4 or 3/8 etudes.
Unless of course you believe you can prepare the piece at an extremely high level and (better still) perform an interpretation that displays your individual musical expression to your advantage.
