I heard that Tony Kniffen walked into the first round of auditions with very little experience and actually was technically the top choice of the whole bunch (although not offered the job). Is this true?


***They do some interesting things at Chicago Symphony brass auditions. Recently, a trumpet playing friend of mine was one of the last two up for a permanent position there. He, needless to say, wasn't picked. They told him, "You sounded too much like a first trumpet player." He replied, "Maybe that is because you gave me all principal parts excerpts to play." The committee member replied, "Well, you have a point there."
