At first when I watched this, I didn't really understand Schweigert's advices. But having watched this multiple times and having matured a bit as a musician, his advices are truly brilliant. Connect the music to something personal in your life. For instance, I am not a very social/outgoing/talkative person, so Weber doesn't really fit my personality. But when I play Weber, I imagine myself being in those weird situations (for myself). Add in the fact that Weber was an opera composer, and you'll be able to make Weber's Concertino sound alive, not just some etude or exercise out of the Baermann studies book.

The guy at 2:12 nails it.

I was actually the one who asked this question 8 years ago, and I've never forgotten his response. I believe my original question was, "I am a clarinet player. For those of you who don't play clarinet, what do you want to hear in a clarinet audition?" or something supremely un-profound like that. When I talk to my own students or do my own master classes, I've boiled it down to this: "Don't try to play in a way that makes everyone on the committee happy. You can't. Try to play in a way that makes you happy."

@@bgclarinet really? if i'm being honest the practical truth from my experience is the opposite - you actually have to know the situation and the orchestra that you are auditioning for and make people on the panel happy.

I was always advised to go for pyrotechnical pieces for auditions as opposed to beautiful adagios etc. And, in the case of the Mozart or Strauss oboe concertos, my teacher always said 'Get the opening passages correct and you'll be forgiven for the few subsequent mistakes. If there's an initial error, it's over.'

Thanks for these precious pieces of advice! I'm having an audition in a few days and I'm really nervous, I can not even sleep! Hopefully it'll go well, I'm so anxious

I liked Mr. Schweigerts suggestions much better

Mayer's beginning rant is just plain bizarre......

I don't make good first impressions. Audition failed.

cute scarf, is that an accessory cry for help?

quante minchiate! Sappiamo bene chi passa le audizioni, cari semi-dei riuniti. State solo giustificando una procedura marcia che non sarà mai veramente trasparente e cioè quella in cui vince il migliore.

Giovanni Di Mauro Non funziona così dappertutto!

all of that is correct. but if you are a better musician ALL of that wouldn't matter - you will be chosen. so all those words are a bit meaningless.
