Such a general question requires a general answer:
Something that shows your current level of proficiency and playing skills in the best possible light...GBK

Maybe people could answer your question more specifically if you used words instead of acronyms and abbreviations to phrase your question. This would give the general population of the group an indication of where you are and what you are attempting to do. I have a few guesses as to the nature of the mystery aconymns, but that is all they are... guesses.

Sang1Lee means Boston University Tanglewood Institute, Senior Massachusetts Wind Ensemble at New England Conservatory, and Greater Boston Youth Symphony. Hmm, that was a mouthfull.

And apparently I've just flown from Brooklyn, NY to Madison, AL!
And Sang1Lee, GBK is right about what music you should play. After all, the same pieces in our repertoire played by middle schoolers for stuff like their all-state exams are very often the same pieces played by those for their doctorate degree jury at Juilliard. It's not so much about what level your piece is than what level you perform it.

Kevin, what would we do without you? Does this mean that sang1lee only wanted a response from young people? or from a certain elite segment of the clarinet population? Merely, a question and not an estimation.

You mean that "NEC" is NOT a computer or cash register?
No wonder I did not advance in the C.I.A.
Here I thought it was because my souffle` fell.

Don't be so hard on yourself, CPW. F.W.I.K., the California International Airshow is pretty tough when it comes time for cuts.

Thanks for the translation, Kevin. Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation, but now I at least know what the question was!

No one suggested a piece to play.
Guess it is FUBAR with a major SNAFU
Of course one hopes that the souffle did not fall out the airplane (was he flying with the Cordon Bleu Angels?)

Thou shalt not mention edibles while I am on my January régime! <stomach grumbles a major fifth lower>
Side question: Does an audition piece have to be a beaten-path clarinet piece or would eg. a flute concerto of CPE Bach do as well?

Interesting trick. I've never heard a "major" fifth before.

My stomach has a quarter-tone granularity. Especially when empty.

Actually, I was referring to the term "Major" as applied to the fifth. I was always told in music theory that primes, fourths, fifths ansd octaves did not have "majors" but rather they were dubbed "perfect", as in a perfect fifth. If I am wrong, or if the nomenclature hac changed iver the decades, please correct me, someone!
In my younger days, I would have described a "perfect fifth" as a nice bottle of Jack Daniel's Black Label.

I guess you're right, Jeff. Music theory was never my thing (especially not in furrin languages).
I just had that stupid quote* in my head when I posted.
*) since you ask: "2 + 2 = 5, for extremely large values of 2"

A PERFECT fifth?
Hmm......Glenfiditch comes to mind.
As far as BUTI goes.
It is in the eye of the beholder.
Some get additional help...Like Botox and the Beast
