Collaborative Piano Audition Repertoire
All candidates are required to take an on-campus audition. Auditions will last approximately 30 minutes.
Instrumentalists will be provided for the required works and, when possible, the candidate’s personal choice. Candidates are welcome to bring their own partners with them for the free requirement but must use the provided instrumentalist for the required works.
Candidates will have one rehearsal for the Beethoven/Brahms Sonata and one rehearsal for the Hindemith. The Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky will not have any rehearsal as we will be assessing your ability to spontaneously follow, listen and adapt to different partners.
Candidates must submit a complete repertoire list with their application.
