Re: What should I practice? Pre-University

Thanks, Alex - I'll keep that in mind as I go through choosing repertoire. Concerning the Mendelssohn, I can't tongue as fast as I've heard a few recordings play it (and personally, I like it a lot slower than I hear it usually played - there's a recording that is played at dotted quarter = 74-76 that is my favorite one of this piece).

I don't want to make another thread on this, so I might as well ask it here: there's a commonly used clarinet excerpt for orchestral auditions - the Bartók Concerto for Orchestra (here's an image from someone's blog of it: http://blog.davidhthomas.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_3342-350x262.jpg). It's that measure with the set of eighth note triplets (83). I find the Bb -> C break difficult - how should I approach this part?
