The trill figures must remain measured, not free: Ravel's trills in La Valse are rhythmic events, not ornaments. Practice them with the metronome clicking the inner subdivision. Dynamic control on the ppp opening: the hardest part is keeping vibrato alive without the bow weight falling off. Use a slow bow with minimal arm weight.
College / Conservatory level. Make sure your scales and shifting are solid at this standard before you record an audition take.
