I am auditioning for a symphony orchestra in a couple of months and I'm looking for suggestions for pieces to play... the orchestra is a community orchestra but I'm expecting the standard to be quite high. I need two contrasting short excerpts, unaccompanied. I had planned to play (some of) the Weber concertino, simply because I prepared it for another audition recently, but need something else that contrasts nicely with that. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Well, Mozart is always nice, most common for regular auditions. Other wise, Brahms, Debussy, Stravinsky, Copland or any other standard clarinet piece. ESP

Thanks - I know both the Brahms sonatas quite well, but I thought maybe they depended a bit too much on the piano to play unaccompanied. Mozart doesn't contrast too well with Weber, plus it's played so frequently that I doubt my rendering would do it justice ;-)

Have you thought about preparing actual excerpts such as Schubert Unfinished or perhaps the second movement of Brahms 3rd Symphony?

yes, a compilation of excerpts, including:
Rachmaninoff symphony #2
Peter and the wolf
Daphnis et Chloe suite 2
Bolero
etc.

Is that for Columbia Orchestra, by any chance? Many good suggestions above. Debussy would contrast nicely with Weber. Even Mozart could, depending on which part of Concertino and which part of Mozart you play. If you play a fast variation from Concertino and the Adagio movement from Mozart, that would work.

Thanks everyone for the useful suggestions. I had considered orchestral excerpts but don't have the sheet music for them to hand. I will have a look at some of those ideas.
