| Re: Excerpt Lists - Are they needed?
Wilmer,
It still happens occasionally.
One of our friends who plays principal trumpet in a major orchestra played a private audition for Danny Barenboim at Carnegie Recital Hall prior to the final audition in Chicago that Chris won. There wasn't a music stand on the stage . . . DB simply called out the passages he wanted to hear and our friend tossed them back effortlessly.
Note also that our friend decided afterward that he didn't want to be considered for the job. Perhaps he couldn't stand the thought of becoming a Cubs fan?
Cheers,
