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

You haven't said what you will be auditioning for. I assume, since you didn't say so, that no specific requirements were given to you. In that case I'd agree that you're better off playing to your strength. But whatever happens at this audition, I'd suggest for future occasions having both a lyrical and a technical piece prepared that you're comfortable with. There's no sense in playing a difficult piece that you aren't confident about if you don't have to, but many auditions specifically require one lyrical and one technical piece. Without knowing the Ticheli piece you're writing about in this post, I'd guess there are lots of other pieces around that will sound suitably flashy but lie better under the fingers and are less rhythmically intricate than your choice B.

Good luck,
Karl
