I think that spelling is at least close. All rounds of this audition were conducted behind the screen. We went from 64 to 7 to 4 to 2 to 1. Being on a commttee is no picnic; very difficult decisions had to be reached based on a sampling of only several minutes of playing from each candidate.
Many people played very well, only a few showed the "total package"; tone, time, intonation,dynamics, style- awareness , sight-reading ability(though less emphasis is placed on this nowadays).
I believe Chris won this audition on a CB50 and 45SLP(once again, behind the screen;I never actually saw this guy play, we all liked what we heard though).
Email me privatley with questions.
