Nor, since it's come up with regard to Marcellus, is Gigliotti a double-lip
player. I'm not sure why he decided to sit for the performance cited below,
but, FWIW, I've seen him solo twice with the orchestra, including a
performance of the Rochberg Concerto during his final year with Philadelphia
and one of the Hindemith several years earlier, and he stood for both
performances.

Tony is not a double lip player. Never was. He uses the upper lip "like" a
double lip player, but does not actually tuck in the lip over the teeth (that's
how I play, and teach embouchure also). No endurance problem there. BTW - his
last apperance with the Phila. Orch he played sitting for the Debussy
Rhapsody. I saw all 3 performances of Tony playing the Mozart Concerto (around
1988), and he stood.
