Don Juan Excerpt for Audition

Author: Bigno16

Unfortunately for me, my school didn't even send me my audition music despite my constant requests since June, so I had to have a friend get it for me herself and mail it to me. I received it about a week ago. My UMASS Amherst audition for the ensembles is going to consist of excerpts from Don Juan and probably some sight-reading.

I worry about the tempo, mostly because of the measures of repeated articulated triplets. Would that even be a spot that they would have me play? I think it would be quite boring to have that spot matter in the audition.

What would be a reasonable/acceptable tempo(s) to perform this excerpt in the audition?

Also, I worry about the high sustained F#. I'll definitely need to look for alternate fingerings that are more stable and covered.

Also, any suggestions for interpretation, contour, and shape would be appreciated, especially as most of it is marked forte.
