problem with young clarinetists

Hi,

A well known clarinetist/teacher recently told me that he's noticed a trend among collegiate clarinet players:

According to him, young clarinetists are driven more by the desire to "get past the first round" than to become artists. Our fear of failure has made us uptight and afraid to take risks. As a result we develop bad habits such as tension, "practice-room" sounds, etc in our playing.

Do any young clarinetists notice this problem with their playing? Do any of you more experienced players notice this trend in the younger generation?

This teacher told me that a student once asked him, "Would you like me to play the Mozart like an audition or musically?"

P.S. I know that most orchestras don't want to hire robots, I'm just curious why most of us students have this preconception.
