RE: My Dilemma

Once, I saw a famous Los Angeles player jump across the stage just to play a middle B on the clarinet. It was very distracting as were the continual rocking back and forth of a great violinist on TV the other day. If one moves a lot while playing, the audience will get the idea that the player does not have control of his/her self and will be diverted from the musical aspects of the playing.

Baermann is not my preference for any kind of audition. While it could demonstrate technical facility, the musical value of any Baermann piece or etude seems to me to be minimal. Good luck!!
