Well, **I** use it! I can play Debussy's Rhapsody EASILY because I don't
have to worry about those formerly impossible passages at the beginning
and near the end. All of a sudden, Rach 2 is a breeze (performed it and
had a wonderful time putting all those fiddle players to shame with their
"long lines"). I can also do justice to the long lines in the Brahms
Sonatas and the Quintet, and I can even show off doing Paganini's Moto
Perpetuo. Charlie Neidich uses it (you don't get much better than him).
Oh, and the quote got it bass ackwards: you breathe in through your NOSE
and out through your mouth.
