Bowings, fingerings, and, most importantly, David Kimâ??s personal insights and detailed instructions for every passageâ??not to be missed! â??Marin Alsop   Chief Conductor   Vienna Radio Orchestra, Ravinia Festival  The Audition Method for Violin is for aspiring and established violinists looking to win orchestral auditions. This book can be used throughout the entire process of preparing for an audition, including at the audition itself. In this volume, David Kim, concertmaster of The Philadelphia Orchestra, provides standard violin audition excerpts in three versions: the excerpt as it appears in the score, a fully annotated version, and a sparsely annotated version to use in the audition. All annotations are made in blue ink for ease of reading. Kim provides detailed instructions for preparing each excerpt as well as an insightful Q & A in which he discusses the ins and outs of auditioning and offers musical and technical advice for violinists. The Audition Method for Violin, the second book in a series co-created by Mark Nuccio and Benjamin Baron, is an invaluable aid that will transform and improve the entire audition experience.
