National Youth Orchestra Audition?

Author: Mike_T_Snyder

I was thinking of sending in an application for the National Youth Orchestra. I need a 3 minute excerpt of any piece with piano accompaniment to record on video. I known both Mozart's clarinet concerto (Mvts. 1 and 2) and Rossini's Introduction, Theme and Variations very well; for my NYSSMA evaluations I got perfect scores on both (99 for Rossini, but I lost that for sight reading, not the solo), the latter of which is almost memorized and has very few errors. I have also learned Spohr's first Concerto for next year's NYSSMA, and know Weber's Duo Concertant (especially movement 3) very well also. While I have practiced other pieces, these four are those which I know the best: Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, Rossini's Introduction, Theme and Variations, Spohr's First Clarinet Concerto, and Weber's Duo Concertant. Any suggestions out of these four? Any pieces besides these you think would work well? And do you have any ideas about particular 3-minute excerpts which would be the best? I understand that this depends on my abilities and whatever abilities I want to show, but in general, which piece demonstrates the most proficiency in musical, technical, etc. skilsl?

Thanks in advance!
