French Horn
The practical exam consists of the following elements:
- 3 etudes of different character, for example:
Kopprasch - 1st book
Oscar Franz
Maxime-Alphonse - 1st or 2nd book
Karl Stary - 1st book - 2 recital pieces, for instance:
Mozart - Concert nr. 3
Glazounov - Rêverie
L. Cherubini - 1st Sonata
For all suggestions counts: other pieces of equal or more advanced level can be used. The judgement of the practical part of the audition will be influenced by the following elements as well:
- Already followed musical education
- Prognosis for developing
- Professional perspective
- Technical realization
- Musical expression
Also the coherence between those elements is of essential importance. The not (yet) (perfect) ability to perform the pieces of the above list is not a reason to not do an audition!
