Played this piece at State Solo and Ensemble and got a Superior!!......Now my Private instructor wants me to do the Scaramouche by Milhaud, Still Excited!!!!
Personally, I'd say yes. I think having an accompanist provides support to the soloist. The tempo is your decision. If anything happens, the pianist will try to follow you, I think. It's fine if you don't have one. However, it does expose more technical errors. That's no to say there would be any with a piano, but when playing alone, the judges will be more focused on you. I love how you're practicing this piece in 8th grade. Wish I had the guts to do that in 8th grade. Good luck :)
@royallighting7 No I don't, I went to the South Carolina Governor's School for the arts and humanities. I graduated last week, but my teacher there was Dr. Kyra Zhang, and my teacher the year before that was Matt Olson
Ironic that this video shows a buffet crampon 400 matte Lacquer and a Eugene Rousseau mouthpiece which is my exact setup. Was kinda hoping it would've showed a box of Rico 3+ and a Rovner versa x. Lol anyway fun piece playing the first 2 movements for my jury in a couple weeks.
I am in 8th grade and am playing this solo in May, I have never played with a piano accompanist before and am being told it is a really big part of the solo. When I play with an accompanist I think I will get behind or something will happen and everything will be horrible. Any advice? Do you think I should play with an accompanist?
Yea this year, im trying to do the CBDA all state band for tabelaux de provence, and i started begining of summer and have it down to close to 2 months of audition. So any advise on playing any hard pieces like this one
I'm a sophomore and I'm learning this same solo but only the 1st movement because for us they don't want our solos to be longer than 7 minutes and I'm doing this for solo and ensemble this year and hope to advance to state solo and ensemble but this is a challenging piece as a sophomore in highschool but my director assigned me this because he says I have the ability to do it but do you have any advice for me about the 1st movement i can use to learn it? :) btw don't know about your state but in the state of Texas we are required to memorize our solo :(
It went really well last year I actually got a 1 at State! This year Im a Junior now and I am doing Tableux de Provence movement 1, 2, and 3 ad I advanced to state as well so lets see how it goes in may. Lets say the 1st movement is pretty tough but its totally doable :)

Scaramouche is a great piece, I played it for my first year recital, and doing it again for my Masters ;D
I almost forgot about this piece! I played it in college more than ten years ago.
Playing this as my solo for Solo & Ensemble this year! This really helped me better understand the piece. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for posting this, I am accompanying a young saxophonist and had never heard this before!
I get the pleasure of learning this piece this year, so thanks for posting this :D
I have to learn half of this for auditions in my school's second band, hoping I get 1st chair lol
The rapid signature change part sounds so jazzy...
This was the senior All State solo. And by the way, I went to SC Governor's school as well for Discovery.(:
Small world.
i’m doing this along with Sonata for bari (the grade 7 one)
