Performers in this master class may perform portions of any solo unaccompanied work, or may choose from the following works with accompaniment (performers may bring their own accompanist. A staff accompanist can be provided free of charge):

  • Paul Dukas. Villanelle.
  • W.A. Mozart. Concerto No. 3, K. 447, mvt. 1.
  • Robert Schumann. Adagio and Allegro.
  • Franz Strauss. Nocturno, Op. 7.
  • Richard Strauss. Concerto No. 1, mvt. 1.

Annamia Larsson will present a master class focused on orchestral horn section excerpts. Each group of section performers in this master class must all represent a single academic institution and be registered for courses at that institution as of March 8, 2013.
