===Classical music===
In [[classical music]], bassists audition for playing jobs in orchestras and for admission into university or Conservatory programs or degrees. At a classical bass audition, the performer typically plays a movement from a [[J.S. Bach suite for solo cello]] or a movement from a bass concerto and a variety of excerpts from the orchestral literature. The excerpts are typically the most technically challenging parts of bass parts and bass solos from the orchestral literature. Some of the most commonly requested orchestral excerpts at bass auditions are from [[Beethoven]]'s Symphonies Nos.&nbsp;5, 7 and 9; [[Strauss]]'s ''[[Ein Heldenleben]]'' and ''Don Juan''; [[Mozart]]'s Symphonies Nos.&nbsp;35, 39 and 40; [[Brahms]]' Symphonies Nos.&nbsp;1 and 2; [[Stravinsky]]'s Pulcinella; [[Shostakovich]]'s Symphony No.&nbsp;5; [[Ginastera]]'s ''Variaciones Concertante''; [[Tchaikovsky]]'s Symphony No.&nbsp;4; [[Mahler]]'s Symphony No.&nbsp;2; J.&nbsp;S. Bach's Suite No.&nbsp;2 in B; [[Berlioz]]'s ''[[Symphonie Fantastique]]'', [[Mendelssohn]]'s Symphony No.&nbsp;4; and the bass solos from [[Verdi]]'s opera ''[[Otello]]'', [[Mahler]]'s Symphony No.&nbsp;1, [[Britten]]'s ''[[The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra]]'' and [[Prokofiev]]'s ''[[Lieutenant Kije Suite]]''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Jason |url=http://doublebassblog.org/2006/12/double-bass-orchestral-audition-lists-a-survey.html |title=Double Bass Orchestral Audition Lists – A Survey – Jason Heath's Double Bass Blog |publisher=Doublebassblog.org |date= 3 December 2006|access-date=2015-12-23}}</ref>
