Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.Koussevitzky's Andante is the most commonly auditioned slow movement in bass repertoire. Panels know every note: phrase, do not just play.
- 2.The opening melody must float: slow bow, full arm weight, and consistent vibrato from the first note. A late or inconsistent vibrato in bar 1 signals a nervous player.
- 3.Long-note intonation: tune each sustained note against a drone before the session. The notes panels remember are the long ones.
- 4.Rubato is required and expected. But it must be committed, not tentative. Know exactly where you will hold and where you will push.
- 5.The high register climax: approach the top note from a half-step below in practice until the arrival is automatic.
