Hey all, This is my first post so I apologize if this is against any rules.

My daughter is going into junior high and has an audition for clarinet. She was given an audition piece and would like to hear the original piece or hear it played so that she can compare her own playing and see what she needs to work on.
If anyone can help in identifying the attached piece I would appreciate it (or even point to a recording of it).

Thank you everyone.

From the page number at the top and the character of the piece, I suspect it's a tonguing study from a method book. I don't recognize it, but if that's what it is, there probably won't be a recording of it.

It's page 34 from the Second Book of Practical Studies for Clarinet by Nilo Hovey. (Belwin Mills)

The original printed exercise was all tongued. Slurs, staccato markings and dynamics have been added.

Thank you,

I think she is doing pretty good but if anyone would like to quickly play and record it and post it I would appreciate it. If not, I appreciate it anyway.

Copying another's performance is probably not what the student ought to derive from this lesson. She needs to develop competency in interpreting music on the page that she has never heard performed. She should be prepared to play the dynamic markings and the articulations exactly as written. Bar 5 is marked "p" for piano or soft, and should be noticeably softer than the bars that precede it. Bar 9 is "mf," mezzo forte or moderately loud. Bar 16 is "f," forte or loud. Bar 20 is p again; bar 25 mf, and in bars 27-28, the crescendo marks should be played with steadily increasing intensity and bravura in the sound. She should carefully pay attention to the staccato notes--those marked with dots above or below them--to indicate they should be played short and with separation between them. The two G's marked with tenuto marks (short horizontal lines) need to be played long.

The person who added all these markings to the exercise is undoubtedly expecting to hear them faithfully reproduced in performance. Good luck!
