http://www.allstateauditions.com/mmea/auditions/auditioninfo.htm
provides the orchestral excerpts in PDF format for students to practice.
PLEASE NOTE: 1) All string excerpts are taken from the Joaquin Turina "Danzas Fantasticas"
2) When presented with divisis or double stops, players may play only the top note.
3) In the violin excerpt, 14 measures after rehearsal 7, there is a scribble above the note. This was to remove the previously printed bowing. It is not a fingering.
