Panel-ready practice tips

1.Stamitz is the stylistic twin of Hoffmeister: panels expect the same Classical discipline. Heavy romantic vibrato will cost you the round.
2.The opening tutti is usually not played by the accompanist in audition: practice counting the bars you're silent so your entrance is on the beat.
3.The arpeggiated passage at bar 25 requires forearm-only bow changes; wrist bow changes will chop the line.
4.Intonation target: every open D is the audition's reference pitch. Match fingered D's to open D's during practice.
5.Panels want decisive cadences: the mini-fermatas between phrases should feel deliberate, not hesitant.
