No Piano Part

Posted by BigGuyBD on 2/5/2025, 9:20 am

I am going to solo and ensemble this Saturday, but for one of my solos, I don't have the piano part. I have the original solo (it is in a book collection), but the piano part is sold separately. Would it be ok for the judge to just look at the actual solo and not the piano part? My students will be playing along with make music as an accompaniment.

In my experience, and when I judge, the solo part is preferred. I usually offer both to the judges.

I only ever give the judge the solo part anyway. No-one's every objected. When I judge, I prefer only having the student's part.

I usually prefer the solo part and not the piano score because most of the time, the piano part has a concert pitch version of the solo, which can be confusing.

The judge simply has to have a numbered original part. Either the solo or piano original will suffice.
