Lots of rhetoric here, not to mention more than a bit of pedantry! Oy…

However, it causes me to wonder who here has actually taken an audition for a major orchestra and who here has actually sat on an audition committee for the same.

The sad truth is that 95% of those who audition for such positions have no business being there in the first place: they can’t play in rhythm and they don’t play in tune, two of the more important aspects of being in an ensemble. One wonders whether we should even assess their sound and musicianship when they can’t successfully hack the basics of ensemble playing. And there’s so much more involved, but…well, why bother? 🤷🏻‍♂️

One can “follow” all the so-called markings and sound something akin to an automaton. It’s that rare player who understands what it means to make music and who will cause one ears to perk up and take their eyes away from their phone.

Honestly, the only thing more brutal than taking an audition is listening to a few hundred of them! 🙄
