Re: Berlioz trills

Assuming that 83 in your music is where it is in my copy, it actually is still in A minor at the 13th bar of 83. That's a melodic minor scale leading up to it and the harmony in the strings is very definitely still minor, so there'd be no reason to trill to F-sharp there. All the trills, as far as I see, should be to the next note in the key.

That passage, by the way, isn't a solo. It's doubled in unison and octaves by all the woodwinds (except piccolo and first clarinet). There is a solo near the beginning of the Witches' Sabbath (beginning in the 5th bar of 62) for the 2nd clarinet (in C). Is that one not required for the audition? Was the audition excerpt identified by measure number?
