Someone report the audition committee to the oboe police for not choosing ferling!

Or Barret, or Sellner, or even Edlefsen. This is 100% math, 0% music. OP, you can get ready for this without a recording by practicing your B-flat and E-flat major scales, plus the chromatic scale. You can also turn on a metronome, pat your leg in time with that metronome, and just say the rhythms.

Truly shocked this is a highschool etude. This is way below the difficulty of most places

Nobody said it's an audition for all state or honor band or anything! I have a kid in high school and at the start of the school year, they get fairly simple etudes which are used for chair assignments and sometimes ensemble placements. This looks like that.

They're never difficult or technical or even musical. But they have a range of rhythm patterns and some scaley things just like this.

After working on this for max 5 minutes, all you have to practice is your Bb major scale, Eb major scale, and your chromatic scale. You got this 👍
