You're going to have some playing to do. The first and fourth movements of the Tchaikovsky are very busy parts. Watch out for the music in the Tchaikovsky, there are versions out there that have misprints in the parts. The last section (where it slows down, right before the end) of the Brahms has one of the harder licks, one that I'm surprised is not on more auditions. The Rachmaninoff has alot of notes but nothing technical. The big challenge there is intonation and balance with the soloist. Enjoy the ride!
