Gregson Mvt 1-2, some Hindemith.


Here in Nebraska:

We just pulled random stuff out of my portacabinet and played it. Mostly Strauss Horn Concerto, some Grant Furies, then some sight reading. EDIT: For scholarship auditions, which were seperate here, I played mvt 1 of the VW. (completely crapped the cadenza too, damn!t)

If you can pull off the third, play it. The 2nd and 3rd movements are what make the piece, in my mind anyway.

I know romanza was stolen from another VW piece, but I LOVE THAT MOVEMENT.

I'd offer the 2nd mvmt for an audition piece; show the committee what music you can make! :shock:

I played some Kopprasch etudes (the Florida All-state audition material) in my formal audition at the university.

What really won me the scholarship, however, was having my now-professor hear me play at solo and ensemble. She judged a brass ensemble I played in, a brass ensemble that I conducted, and a tuba-euphonium quartet that I sat in on when their second tuba didn't show. It turned out that she had arranged that piece.

It's not what you play, It's how you play it.

I played His Majesty the Tuba while getting over bronchitis and I got enough money to make my first year at the Lawrence Con happen.

I left after my first year because the tuba professor ended up moving to Oberlin to be an assistant dean.

After that I used the 1st movements of the Hindemith and the Vaughan Williams to get into Baldwin Wallace College (got bunch of cash) & Northern Illinois University (tuition free). I know I used at least the VW to get into Chicago College of Performing Arts for Grad School (half ride).
