The Scherzo movement from Schumann's 2nd Symphony ties with Don Juan at the top of the "Most Wanted" list for violin auditions. In fact, I remember former Cleveland Orchestra violinist Erich Eichhorn telling me (way back when I was 17), "Don Juan. Schumann Scherzo. Mozart's 39th Symphony. These are what you need to know." I should have started practicing them right away!
