Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.Sebastian Lee's concerto is a step above Goltermann in technical demand. Panels expect cleaner shifts and better tone than at the Goltermann level.
- 2.The D-major key sits naturally on the cello: use the open D and A strings as intonation anchors throughout.
- 3.The passage that crosses from the A-string to the D-string and back requires planned bow angles. Practice the crossing slowly so the arm level is automatic.
- 4.The lyrical A-section melody is the expressive heart of the audition. Give it a voice: where does each phrase breathe and peak?
- 5.The ornamental embellishments in the development are optional at this level. Include them only if you can play them in tempo.
