Who's done it? Tips? Stories? Anything? I'm doing it in two years for a senior solo :D

I studied the Mozart Concerto this year - played it for music festival (got the highest mark in the festival, 95%), used it for all my auditions (got accepted into the National Youth Band, plus all the universities of my choice), got second in the province under 28 in woodwinds, and like $800.00 in scholarships with it! Definitely a great piece!

Get the Guetter edition!!!!

absolutely wonderful. It allows you to really focus on musicality, not just speed, I like that.
There is one stupid mistake I made with that piece though, consistantly for the first gazillion years playing it for orchestra auditions...its mozart, so the trills aren't normal. lol.
I guess you cant really get worse than that huh?

i've learnt it for a few months and its absolutely beautiful,however i must say that it is extremely difficult because of all the semi quavers where you have to tung.For those who can tung very well,it is not a problem but it becomes a problem when someone is weak at tunging.However,you can resort to double-tunging^_^(like me)The fingerings are also quite hard to catch,so i finger them on my imaginary bassoon when i'm free.That helped

Right now I'm working on the second and third movements, but I'm not bothering with the first until later. I'm going to use the third movement for auditioning for All-State Band and both for some other auditions. My worst spot every time is that in the second movement I always want to play F# for some odd reason.

The hardest excerpt in the Mozart Concerto is the Eb arpeggiation in the first movement for sure. The F# is just a mental problem.
