| First/Cold Entrances
Mr. McCandless,
How you remedy the first entrance/excerpt in an audition, competition, or concert setting. Nerves factor in heavily for auditions and the problem for me is to just go and nail the first excerpt with out testing out and noodling a few notes on the horn. The most impressive performances I have seen are the guys who can come and nail the first statement cold. Thoughts?
examples:
opening of honegger intrada
opening mahler 5 solo
schumann 2
first high soft lick in la mer
opening of the first and third mvt. of the desenclos
first statement of the tomasi
zarathustra high C calls
just to name a few
