Are you kidding man? Csardas is definitely not too easy for any type of music audition. However, the admissions officers arn’t looking for the song (although a crowd-pleaser like Csardas will definitely give them a smile); they are looking at your talents and abilities. Can you play the lyrical passage with gigantic waves of expression? Can you play the infamous sixteenths with crisp precision? Obviously, your answer to those questions is going to be your impression on the adcoms.

In fact, if you can “WOW” the listener with your recording, your application will really shine because it’ll show that you can be amazing just by teaching yourself.

Your 2nd piece of info is a very good thing to put on your application. It shows that you have leadership skills and the dedication necessary to excel at music.

Good luck!
