Juilliard Audition

The program Jacob prepared for his Juilliard audition in Room 340 on February 18, 2025. The panel heard only portions, then gave him an unidentified Mikrokosmos excerpt to sight-read; No. 113 is a proxy. Reference recordings selected to approximate his playing.

Night Music: Keller After Dark (Album Proxy)

Reference recordings approximating Jacob’s own canonical album—recorded December 3–4, 2033, at midnight at Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, by candlelight with no amplification, and released by ECM Records in February 2034. Real-world pianists were chosen for sonic alignment with Jacob’s documented playing style.
