Panel-ready practice tips

1.The opening cantilena must breathe: most candidates play it in strict time and sound mechanical. Sing it out loud without the violin first.
2.Intonation on the D-string cantilena: use a focused, narrow vibrato. Wide vibrato hides pitch center and panels hear it.
3.The orchestral introduction is long. Count bars in your head using the orchestra reduction: a missed entry costs the round before you play a note.
4.The cadenza (if included) should be Auer edition at audition unless otherwise requested. Exotic cadenzas distract panels from your technique.
5.Bow arm on the fast passages: detaché strokes, not spiccato. Spiccato blurs the fast runs under audition pressure.
