It appears as though a lot of auditions require two contrasting rose etude.
My 12 yo has mastered rose etude #1, what should he learn next as a contrasting piece and why would you consider that as a contrasting piece ?

Etude #1 from which book?
I'm surprised that an organization holding auditions that include 12-year-olds is asking for Rose studies at all. What is the audition for?

I did not know different books had c. rose etude numbered differently... i am only aware of the one I got that is the same one labeled as Rose Etude #1 on youtube performed by Tom Puwalski. At any rate, my 12 yo can play Rose Etude #1 from memory and you couldn't tell if it's Tom Puwalski playing it or if it was my son just from hearing it. My son has nearly mastered Etude #2 as well.
My son did recital on K622 2nd mvnt in December, and he can now play the 1st and 3rd as well. He is currently working on phrasing and committing to memory for upcoming competitions/auditions.
We are working on auditioning for Juilliard/PYO/DCYO this summer.

There are two sets of Rose "Etudes." One set has 32, the other has 40. I think the set of 40 might be published as "Studies," however, so it's likely that your son is playing #1 from the 32.

You are correct Katrina, my son is studying the one that has 32 Etudes. I do not play any instruments, or sing, and I am not a musician at all. So, I do not know which two are (most) contrasting and why... if they ask at the audition as to why did you pick those two, I do not know what he would say other than my dad told me to learn those, or, one is an allegro and the other is an andante cantabile =)
I am sure there are differences in music other then just the tempo, but I am not a musician so I have no idea. If it was tempo alone, you'd pick a fast and slow piece, but I am not sure that's all there is.... there has to be more.

If he's playing the 32 Etudes, the first two are reasonably contrasting. #4 is oriented toward quick staccato (tonguing) and might be an even better contrast to #1.
Just FYI, there are also a set of 40 Etudes (in the original edition published in two books of 20) and a set of 20 Grand Studies,all edited for clarinet by Rose, which was why I asked about which book your son was studying.

When my son heard Etude #4, he tells me that might be too challenging for him at this stage in his music career =)
I told him he can learn it after he has mastered Camille Saint-Saens Clarinet Sonata, which I asked him to play for his auditions as well. If I remember correctly, either the Curtis or the Juilliard requires that you perform a piece from 20th Century, and I thought this would be a perfect piece for it.

The Rose 32 are set up (in almost all publications) as the odd numbered ones being slower, more lyrical, and the even numbered ones are faster and more technical.

As long as one is slow and one is fast it will serve as two contrasting. Choose the one he likes and can play the best. I don't matter.
