Re: Accuracy in orchestral auditions

The rests are only rests for you and others not playing in those moments. Meanwhile, the music goes on, the count never stops, and you have to consider just how your little thread fits into the music fabric. Study the score and listen to, sing, and count each other audible part. Note what is being played when you begin your rest and what is being played when you re-enter. Rather like watching for the ball after the pitcher or batter has thrown or hit it. Your attempted "catch" will come up empty-handed if you don't have your eye on the ball. By analogy, your entrances will be wrong if you don't have your ear on the music other instrumental groups are continuing. Your "rest" is not a rest at all; it is not mere empty space; it is a change of texture in the musical fabric with your little thread out of view for a short while. Mentally play the other instruments' parts and ADD your part. Then your part should coordinate correctly and sound right. You are a thin line in a complex array of lines on the score.
