Re: How to practice Mozart

Author: nellsonic  Date:   2018-06-16 22:43 Well, sure it's a medicore edition, but so what? It's an audition for a spot in a large ensemble - not a recital, ratings festival, or concerto competition. These are excerpts, and just like orchestral excerpts for orchestra auditions large and small they are a demonstration of suitability for a potential gig, not the end-all and be-all of individualistic expression. None of this is prohibitive of making good music. Those that place high in these auditions will jump through all the hoops with precision and still manage to stand out from the crowd by being musical. No long-term student in my studio has this as their only experience performing the Mozart. No one is obligated to play wrong notes. I've made several contributions to the errata notice over the years. The powers that be take notice. No judge wants to sit there and hear the same wrong note all day. While we all can and probably do lament certain things about the process along the way I think we can at least appreciate that it is relatively equitable and that the majority of students will benefit from the experience. Perhaps I'm more forgiving of the flaws of this edition because the most egregious of them do not appear in the specified excerpts and it's actually a great edition compared to the dreadful Weber Concertino one that precedes it in the cycle. Probably also because, yes, it's the same one I had to audition with decades ago! Anders Post Edited (2018-06-16 22:48)
