Hello TB'ers:

I understand this is a relevant issue in our world today, and currently a topic of much discussion. I want everybody on this site to understand we do not tolerate racism or racist comments of any kind. We are trumpeting community, from the world over!

This is not a political statement, and I'm not suggesting I have an answer. Just a public statement about this site, that's all.
Please feel free to make your voice heard if you would like to discuss the issue, but refrain from vitriolic words, personal attacks & political comments. I am certain we can all do better to understand each other.

I keep putting this off, but I will do it this weekend!!

I just need to make the change. I think I can do that tonight.

Is the BPO one of the groups where every member has to "vote" you in?

Sorry I haven't changed it yet.

Actually, it is customary not to mention the orchestral excerpts because the will be announced at short notice without any preparation time whatsoever. They are still an integral part of the audition process. In addition, the audition process at German orchestras usually is a multi-stage one, with only the requirements for the first stage being publicised. As the audition for a solo viola player showed... the orchestra were quite pleased at what the candidate presented, but, having been burnt before, they asked the candidate to play the fast demisemiquaver passage from "the Bartered Bride". And the viola candidate readily agreed, saying, "well, yes, if you've got enough time for that..."

Thanks for the clarification. That sounds crazy.

I see they ask for a German Bb Trumpet, does this mean a rotary valve trumpet?

Regards, Stuart.

Yes. In "B" (traditionally, in Germany H is used for what we call B and B is really Bb).

I was just looking over the audition requirements for Principal Trumpet in Berlin. Guess what?...there are only two pieces listed. Haydn Concerto and Hindemith Sonata are on the ticket. No excerpts of any kind.

Something tells me that the small repertoire list makes it even harder. Naturally, I assume it must be memorized. Do they not even want to see your transposition abilities?
