There has been a long-felt need in orchestras and at the colleges for a practical and easily accessible edition of the orchestral works presented during the audition. The contents of this issue are based on suggestions of the German Music Council and are based on statistical surveys of the Deutsche Orchestervereinigung e.V. (DOV), as well as on the many years of professional experience of the publishers as orchestra musicians and university educators. The separately available CD contains the respective excerpts from the work (instrument with orchestra).
