I wasn't sure what to title the discussion. RobinDesHautbois helped me realize that I needed to take a step back from my audition piece (the first movement of Mozart's Oboe Quartet) and think about what it meant to me.
I basically came up with the story of this group of children playing in a field. After the second repeat of the first section. A little girl (the one the oboe represents) gets separated from the group (in the piece this is where it plays the Dm scale up to high D, then the leaps down). She then finds the group again and they continue playing.
So I'm wondering, what do you think/feel/visualize when you listen to one of your favorite pieces?

Music for me is similar to eating a delicious meal. Different sensations, of course, but composed of varying clusters of sensations that I could name if I needed to (chicken, rosemary, mashed potatoes & gravy, minor, major, deceptive cadence, tuba and piccolos in unison) but choose to experience as they flow through time rather than analyze.
If the music has a strong deliberate story line like opera, tone poems and the like then the story line will be, for me, a strong overlay on that sequence of sensations, but for me, the music needs to unfold in real time.
That's just me! Anything you visualize that furthers your interpretation is a useful approach. There are as many versions of the Mozart as there are performers, so just play what you know to be right and it will be a great performance.

I play with imagery in my head all the time.
I'd have to say that it changes according to
(a) how well I'm playing thepiece
(b) what mood I'm in
(c) the weather outside...
I have a pretty fertile imagination, so the 'story' or 'scene' can change dramatically; it's not dependent on the composition, that's for sure.
