Claim the ThroneAround 48 bpm for double bass audition prep. Panels reward effortless evenness at tempo over a rushed showpiece, so lock the tempo in before you push for speed.
On the same five dimensions real panels use: tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality. Standard on major orchestra bass section and principal bass auditions
The Mahler Ninth's opening bass figure is hauntingly hesitant: the rhythm sounds like a dying heartbeat by design. Panels listen for the character, not just the notes. The irregular rhythm in bars 3–5 must be precise: any smoothing of the figure loses the compositional point.
College / Conservatory level. Make sure your scales and shifting are solid at this standard before you record an audition take.
