Volume in Orchestral Seating Auditions

Author: Micaela  Date:   2002-07-16 02:54 I'm leaving for music camp next Sunday and I get to start with my favorite thing...a seating audition. I'm playing the Debussy Premiere Rhapsodie and a bunch of orchestral excerpts. How loudly should I play? Should I amplify all my pianos and pianissimos? The Debussy's mostly a quiet piece and one of the excerpts (the slow movement of the Symphonie fantastique) is marked ppp. My teacher says I play too quietly but I don't want to lose too much dynamic contrast. Which is more important in this situation: projection or contrast? It's an audition for an orchestra, not a band. The other excerpts I have to play are the Beethoven Symphony No. 7, Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 and Weber Overture to Oberon. The Tchaikovsky scherzo is a lot of fun. Thanks, Micaela
