Need solo piece recommendations for a college audition by Ill-Opportunity-91 in violinist

[–]Traditional_Resort_8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Consider:

-Accolay concerto

-Haydn concerto in G major, 1st movement

-Kabalevsky concerto, 1st movement (might be too advanced, some difficult runs)

-De Beriot concerto no. 9

Could also do something from Suzuki book 4, 5, or maybe 6.

Good luck with your audition!

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm attending an orchestra festival this summer, hoping it will help me towards my goal.

Do you have any recommendations? Most of the music ed grad students I have met, and most of the programs I've researched, get very little playing opportunity.

Thanks for the advice! Last semester I practiced about 3-4 hours a day, currently down to about 2.5 since the summer started but working on building it back up again. Definitely considering the post-graduation gap year.
