Re: an audition piece: a lyrical piece, or a technical piece?

Personally I would play to your strength. Your rhythmic accuracy will be evident in the lyrical piece AND you can also showcase your ability to draw the music out of it as well.

The problem with the technical piece is that you need to have it rock solid to make it work..........and it might not. I recall an audition I began (my choice) with the second mvt of Stravinky's Three Pieces after hearing the words "Impress us," from behind the blind. I was not "on." It sounded like a cat fight. End of audition.
