Brahms Symphony No. 2 | Cello Excerpt Deep Dive

This excerpt is super common to find on audition lists. Let’s take a deep dive! I’ve tried to put as much valuable advice as came to mind in here for those who are looking to take an audition that has this on it. While I obviously didn’t cover literally EVERYthing in it, and my play-through wasn’t perfect, I think there’s a good amount of solid tips (if I may say so myself) to help you along your journey. What excerpts do you want me to do for future episodes like this?
