Lawrence:
I had heard from multiple sources that Drucker was part of the committee that sought his replacement. I'll try to find them, much that even if I do so it still opens the door to the idea that orchestras don't, or perhaps shouldn't hire the closest carbon copy of their retiree.
It shocks me that you believe I've made things up because nothing in your response says to the contrary, just what you presume and hope for.
The fact that the person who took over does or doesn't play with similar style, the fact that orchestras evolve...let me try to explain this another way.
Regardless of where and what you are auditioning for, whether its a professional orchestra seat, conservatory placement, or first chair in a community band, if someone in a position to decide your fate has samples of them playing or even conducting works you'll be tested on, you would be wise--based on human nature and egos--to play in ways that are--if not carbon copies--closer to those interpretations than father.
Donald
That in "the ends justify the means" logic of McGill not playing like Drucker and still getting the chair I would respond that many factors land a player a job, and that while the better player might win over the inferior one despite someone at the auditioner's table preferring the inferior player's interpretation, if not abilities, the real world competition for such slots is an intense battle among virtuosi, where human nature is statistically more likely to advance the player whose style more closely resembles that of a playing judges--if in fact samples of such things are available.
~~~~~~~~
If auditioners want to buck human nature--do things their own way: they should be my guest. All things equal--and often they are not--I contend that playing the classic excerpt repetoire closer than father to how auditioners like it, or have performed it, or have been part of a performance of it on another instrument--assuming such data is available-- is more likely than not, a path of less resisitance.
