C. Stamitz Clarinet Concerto 3 in Bb, II - Romanze
So my local community symphony has a small ensemble/solo concert they do every year in March, and I don't have much solo experience but I really want to perform SOMETHING for this. The Auditions are in January, and I'm not ready for Weber at this time, so my teach recommended me to try out another Carl, and asked me to look at Stamitz. I think it is nice enough, and is something I can probably get audition ready after a few months of good practice. While I do like the entire concerto, I have a 10 minute limit for what to play. So I'm going to start with the second movement, and MAYBE the rondo, just in the interest of time.
Anyway, I have to start somewhere, mistakes, finger tumbles, and bad intonation on some parts and all that (in fact, I think I forgot to tune!) So this is me after only a few run throughs, and without any advice from my instructor (who will give me some great advice on how to play this well)
I'll keep on posting
(and for my records here is the backtrack I'm using to play along with... https://youtu.be/o3PhfiJW-_I?si=6hY8w24-1Ht0J4II&t=1386 This channel seems to have a lot of great play-along recordings which I'll have to play around with a bit more)

Hi --- I've been Away from tonebase for a moment as I practice for the tryouts happening in a few weeks. Anyway, here is an updated performance, although I'm not too happy with how awful my microphone is for picking up this.
anyway here is where I'm at with the Romanze

And I decided to go for the Rondo as well. I've been working forever on this 16th note pattern. I really don't want to audition with it any faster than this, because I like it at this speed. anyway less than 2 more weeks to go until the audition. and this recorded better LOL... and I need to go to bed.
