At the beginning of this masterclass, Professor Clevenger mentions the initial horn solo in this piece and the required attitude and personality that the student should show when playing it in an audition: with conviction and leader attitude. Besides, Clevenger corrects the student the right-hand position and the embouchure pressure.
Finally, the professor recommends taking a deep breath between two particular phrases so that he can get more air: it is necessary to "tank up" enough.
