Bassoon and Contrabassoon Audition Excerpts

NEW YORK YOUTH SYMPHONY 2018-2019 AUDITIONS Bassoon Contrabassoon (Optional) Dear Applicant: Thank you for applying for the New York Youth Symphony! Below please find your audition excerpts. Note: It is not required to audition on auxiliary instruments (contrabassoon), however demonstrating proficiency on contrabassoon will greatly increase your chances of being selected for the ensemble. It is highly recommended that you perform the contrabassoon excerpts, if able. Audition excerpts may be performed in any order you prefer. You may be asked to perform sight-reading excerpts, both melodic and rhythmic. You may also be asked to demonstrate various different basic techniques germane to your instrument, which may include knowledge of major and minor scales and/or bowing/tonguing techniques. Please bring solo repertoire with you, although note that due to time constraints, you may not be asked to perform your solo repertoire in your audition. In preparation for this audition, please place the highest priority on following excerpts. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Good luck!
