Panel-ready practice tips

1.Every candidate has played the Mendelssohn. Panels compare you not to a recording but to every candidate who played before you today. Musical specificity is the only differentiator.
2.The opening solo enters immediately: no orchestral introduction. Make sure the first note has the exact dynamic level and character you planned.
3.The lyrical theme at bar 15: panels listen for whether your phrasing has an interior logic. Play each bar as a sentence with a subject and a predicate.
4.The passagework in the development must stay in tune under tempo pressure. Practice the fast runs at 60% with a drone before adding speed.
5.The cadenza is built into the score: practice it as written. Extreme rubato in the cadenza sounds undisciplined to most panels.
