| playing a list
Hey Manny,
I did a mock audition for myself yesterday and have one or two little things to ask your opinion on.
To give you an idea of where I'm coming from I can play all of the excerpts isolated by themselves so that is not the "issue". My difficulty lies going from a very powerful excerpt, specifically the opening to Mahler 5 and then playing the soft lyrical solo at the end of the first movement. It's rather difficult (duh...) to go from playing that opening to then having the soft control for that solo. It took me the first two notes to be really secure. I mean if I could blow a few notes in between the excerpts I'd feel fine but you can't do that (right??). Any advice? Thanks.
