Still on the List

Orchestral Audition Excerpts and the Repertoire They Outlive, 1968–2019

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions reads fifty-two years of a regional orchestra's audition files against its season programmes, finding that 62 of 181 excerpts stayed on the lists more than a decade after the orchestra last played their works, and tracing the list's slowing turnover to 1994, when it also became the repertoire of the annual playing review for tenured players.
