help time running out

Posted by desperate on 2/16/2023, 6:52 am

can anyone recommend the absolute easiest grade 2 on the UIL pml? Looking for something that does not expose low brass.

I'm late posting, but this may help someone in the future.

A good friend suggested Japanese Pictures when I was in a fill in situation with 3 weeks to prep for UIL C/SR. In my opinion, JP is teachable and cleanable in shorter time than Colliding Visions. CV is much more difficult than it looks when you get into cleaning.

As mentioned above, go with Colliding Visions

Is Colliding Visions still a grade 2? If so that is the winner, hands down, especially if low brass is an issue

Pavane?
But only if you have good flutes and clarinets.

Really analyze the piece and add appropriate "terraced" dynamics.
I did, and it added much more to the performance.

Colliding Visions is very achievable (the 3/4 opener is the "tough" part)

I love that piece but it has some fingering challenges that make it not the easiest ever. I'd put it as more of a midrange grade 2 to be honest.

Same thoughts on that one. I've cliniced a couple groups who have done it and felt like they asked for trouble with it. It's not the most difficult 2, but it's definitely not on the easier side. Colliding Visions as mentioned is probably the best bet.
