Hi,

Your thread title says Leonore 2 but you ask about leonore 3 in your post. I'll assume you mean the more commonly asked Leonore 3. There isn't one specific way to play that excerpt, however, I would suggest listening to Phil Smith's excerpt CD.

To answer your question, I would agree with your instincts about this. Make a musical statement while showing a good sense of pulse and rhythm. I think you will be able to do both without much trouble, especially on this fairly straight forward excerpt.

Thanks and good luck on your audition
