Re: Clarinet Auditions

Every audition for a position in an orchestra, on any instrument, includes some of the most difficult excerpts for that instrument both from a musical as well as a technical point of view to separate the best players from the average players. When filling a position they want to hire the best player available, just like sports teams and businesses do. Looking for the best in all aspects that the position demands. It's not just the clarinet by any means. It may seem that way to the less advanced player because we have so many difficult passages to play, but so does every other instrumet as well. I remember, as a student, thinking some passages from Daphines and Cloe for bass clarinet and A clarinet where damn near impossible. After a while they became second nature to me to play. Perhaps not easy but not a problem.
